This Caramelized Pear on Warm Brie is what cozy gatherings are made of — melty, creamy, and just the right touch of sweet. Fresh pear cubes are simmered with brown sugar, apple juice, and our Cinnamon Pear Dark Balsamic Vinegar, creating a luscious caramelized topping that feels like the holidays in every bite.
The warm brie softens just enough to melt over your favorite crackers or baguette slices, while a drizzle of Mild Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil gives it a rich, silky finish. Chopped walnuts add a gentle crunch, and a sprinkle of rosemary or mint makes it picture-perfect for any celebration.
Whether you’re hosting a holiday party, bringing something to share, or just treating yourself to a quiet night in, this recipe is the perfect mix of simple and impressive — a true Little Shop favorite.

Sweet caramelized pears with Cinnamon Pear Dark Balsamic, spooned over warm, creamy brie and topped with walnuts — an easy, elegant appetizer that’s perfect for entertaining.
Ingredients
- 2 green onions
- 2 Tbsp Mild Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 pear (cut into ½-inch cubes)
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup apple juice or apple cider
-
2 Tbsp Cinnamon Pear Dark Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 (4 oz) round of brie
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
- Optional: Fresh rosemary and mint for garnish
Directions
- Wash and trim green onions. Finely chop, separating greens from whites; set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, sauté the white parts of the onions in Mild Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil until soft, about 1 minute.
- Add chopped pear, brown sugar, apple juice, and Cinnamon Pear Dark Balsamic Vinegar. Stir and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer 10–12 minutes, until the mixture thickens and the pears are caramelized.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place the brie in an oven-safe dish or brie baker. Pour the caramelized pear mixture over the top and sprinkle with walnuts.
- Bake for 10 minutes, just until the brie softens.
- Garnish with green onion tops, rosemary, or mint. Serve warm with baguette slices or crackers. Enjoy!
