*The longer you leave your brie in the oven, the better it will be and the apples will become more baked and soft. HOWEVER the brie will start to collapse and the cheese will be oozing out so if you want the brie to stay mostly in tact, aim at keeping it in the oven for no more than 12 to 13 minutes. If you do this, there is still a little bite with the apples, which I like, but again, if you want the apples softer, bake the brie for longer but no more than 15 to 16 minutes. Alternatively, you can heat up the apple mixture on the stove and then add to the baked brie when it comes out of the oven but I think that just adds an unnecessary pan or pot to clean.
