Bake the brie in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

In a small saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 4 tablespoons of honey.

Add 1/4 cup of packed sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, and chopped rosemary to the saucepan.

Add orange zest to the saucepan.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a light boil, stirring continuously.

Once bubbling and foamy, add 1/4 cup of pecans and 1/4 cup of dried cranberries to the sauce.

Stir well to combine and remove from heat.

Pour the sauce over the baked brie while it's still runny and bubbly.

Add a little more orange zest over the top before serving.
