Apples stuffed with brie cheese and pecans

Preparation

• In a frying pan, brown the bacon and onion in the oil. If desired, remove some of the cooking fat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and bread. Reduce until almost dry.
• Add cheese, pecans and parsley. Continue cooking, stirring, until cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
• Place rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
• Cut off apple core. Using a melon baller, scoop out core of apples to form a cavity about 45 ml (3 tbsp.) deep.
• Fill the apples with the filling, forming a dome on top. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Serve as a side dish for poultry or as an appetizer.
