Baked Brie with Golden Raisin Compote

Why I Love This Recipe
My Recipes Contest Winner/Category Finalist: Starters and Drinks. "This flavorful appetizer is great because most of the prep work can take place before guests arrive. The Brie is rich enough to carry the appetizer with a tart and sweet compote. To ease slicing, keep Brie chilled until ready to use." --Elizabeth Bennett, Mill Creek, WA
Ingredients You'll Need
6 C chopped peeled Granny Smith apple (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 C vertically sliced red onion (1 small)
1 C golden raisins

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cardamom

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
8 ounces Brie cheese, thinly sliced
40 (1/4-inch-thick) slices French bread baguette (about 8 ounces)

Directions
Combine first 11 ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring occasionally. Cool.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Divide Brie slices into 40 even pieces. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons compote over each baguette slice; top each with 1 piece of cheese. Arrange the slices on a large baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
