I love simple, crowd pleasing appetizers and baked brie is at the top of my list of favorites!

I decided for Pumpkin Week I would make a fall themed baked brie using my favorite pumpkin sauce on top.

In fact I used the same pumpkin sauce that I use in my Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe!

I like to serve my baked brie in a small cast iron skillet (my favorite way to serve dips) and for this version I skipped wrapping it in puff pastry

and simply used cheese, pumpkin, and candied almonds. It turned out fantastic and I can’t wait to make it again for Thanksgiving!
