Honey Apple Brie Bites

Here is a total homerun Pampered Chef appetizer for your recipe repertoire...quick and light! Oh...and it's pretty too!




 
Ingredients
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped (saute in a pan on low heat for just a few minutes - be careful not to burn or it will ruin your recipe)
2 medium red baking apples (I used Gala - my fave)
1/4 cup honey
1 4" round Brie, cubed in 1/2" pieces
2 packages prepared mini phyllo shells (30 total shells)

Directions
Preheat your oven to 400. Line your phyllo shells on a baking sheet, sprayed with Pam. Mix together apples, walnuts, lemon zest and honey. Place one cube of Brie in each phyllo shell. Spoon a little of the apple/nut mixture into each shell until distributed evenly. Bake shells until cheese is melted, approximately 6-8 minutes. Serve warm!
 
Note: If you aren't a fan of the bitter taste of the rind, I would suggest trimming it off the Brie before baking.
