    Who wouldn’t want to come home to find this treat waiting for them: a pumpkin gift box filled with soup mix, bread, Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon and all the ingredients for a delicious baked brie recipe.

    I was inspired to put this gift basket together after seeing specially marked bottles of Robert Mondavi Private Selection wine that come with a “You’ve Been Hallo-wined” tag and a recipe for Mummy’s Mulled Wine.

    When putting together this Hallo-Wine treat, I thought of what could make a busy mom’s life easier on a hectic fall day.

    Baked Brie Ingredients

    • Brie Cheese – For the prettiest presentation, opt for a wheel of brie instead of a wedge
    • Dried Cranberries – The tart flavor of the dried fruit pairs well with the mild, nutty brie
    • Almonds – Use sliced almonds for this recipe
    • Apple – Choose a tart apple, like a Granny Smith, to add crunch and flavor
    • Brown Sugar and Cinnamon – Light brown sugar mixed with just a bit of cinnamon gives adds just a hint of sweetness to this appetizer
    • Butter – Use the real stuff, not margarine, for the best flavor

    How to Make Baked Brie

    1. Slice the wheel of brie in half horizontally, as if you were cutting a bagel. Be careful not to cut your fingers.
    2. Combine the apple, cranberries, sliced almonds, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then stir in the melted butter.
    3. Place half of the brie, rind side down in a brie baker, skillet or small baking dish.baked brie topped with apples and dried cranberries
    4. Top with half of the apple-cranberry mixture, then top with the other half of the brie, rind side up.brie topped with cranberries and apples ready to go in the oven
    5. Spoon the rest of the apple mixture onto the top of the brie, and the appetizer is ready to go in the oven. Cook the baked brie for 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese begins to melt. Serve it hot with bread slices, crackers and apple slices.

    For the HalloWINE gift basket, I measured out the almonds, brown sugar and cranberries and put them in a pretty jar inside the gift basket. I even included the required amount of butter, wrapped in a bit of parchment.
