A couple weeks ago, I was invited to tour The Pampered Chef’s kitchens along with the rest of Chicagonista. We got to meet their chefs, check out new products, learn some new and yummy recipes and eat!

(Hopefully I’ll be posting more on that soonish and have some goodies for you guys too over on my review blog)

But I literally raved on and on about one of the appetizers we helped make all over twitter and to many people I talked to because it was just that good. And when I mentioned the name of it, a lot of you were like OMG WANT! so I thought I’d share the recipe.

What I like best about the recipes they showed us was that they were quick, easy and pretty much idiot proof. I think one of the reasons I’m not much of a cook is I’m convinced I’d be a disaster in the kitchen. But I was a little bit inspired that day so I’m kind of excited about branching out and trying new things now.

Anyway, on to the recipe!

Honey-Apple Brie Bites
1 lemon
1 cup toasted walnuts
2 medium red baking apples such as Jonathan (2 cups finely diced)
1/4 cup honey
1 4in. round (8oz) Brie or Camembert cheese with rind
2 pkg (1.9 oz each) prepared mini phyllo shells (30 shells total)

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Zest lemon to measure 1tsp zest. Coarsly chop walnuts. Finely dice apple. Combine zest, walnuts, apple and honey in batter bowl; mix gently.

Cut Brie into thirty 1/2in. cubes. Arrange phyllo cups on large sheet pan. lace one Brie cube in each cup. Using a small scoop, top Brie with a level scoop of apple mixture. Bake 6-8 minutes or until cheese is melted.

And there you have it. Heaven in bite sized form!

@Ben, let me know if you end up making them. I can’t wait to hear what you think!

i have those wooden tongs – they are AWESOME!!!

Those sound SO GOOD. My roomie and I made an Apple Brie Bruschetta last week that was similar! It was bruchetta, except a tasty jam instead of olive oil, Brie instead of Mozz, and apples instead of tomatoes. SO GOOD. I’ll have to try this with the honey and walnuts, WANT.

@Doniree, um sounds amazing. I need that in my life.

Woah, that’s it? Okay, now I know I want these…even *I* can make them!
