Place the Brie in the freezer for 15 minutes (this makes slicing easier). Remove any packaging and use a large, sharp knife to carefully cut away the top rind of the wheel of cheese.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place brie in a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is slightly bubbly. It's okay if some of the cheese melts over the sides. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes.

While the cheese is cooling slightly, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, maple syrup, pecans, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for another 5 to 10 minutes.

If leaving in the baking dish, pour the sauce all over the baked brie. If using a serving platter, use a large spatula (or two smaller ones) and carefully transfer the brie to the dish, and then pour the sauce. Serve at once with crackers and sliced fruit (if desired).
