Core 2 apples and roughly dice into pieces.

Place the diced apples in a small covered sauce pot on medium low heat.

Cook the apples down for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until soft and tender.

In a separate sauce pot over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter.

Stir in 1/2 cup of brown sugar and bring the mixture to a low boil.

Cook for 3 minutes while stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, whisking until combined.

Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and whisk to a smooth sauce.

Set the caramel aside to cool and thicken.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Remove the brie cheese from the package and place it on a piece of parchment paper.

Place the parchment paper with the brie in a small cast iron pan.

Bake the cheese in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until warm and very soft when pressed lightly on top.

Remove the cheese from the oven and place it on a serving tray.

Top the warm cheese with the soft apple chunks and pour over the cooled caramel sauce.
