Choosing Your Apples
This recipe works well with a variety of apples! We like to use a sweet, crisp apple that holds its shape such as gala, honeycrisp, braeburn, or jonathans.
We do recommend you stay away from using granny smith apples in particular for this flatbread because we found they’re a bit too tart and require more sugar to balance that.

Tips for Perfect Flatbread
- Cut apples in uniform size – try to get all the apples in uniform 1/4-inch thick slices. No need to peel the apples, the skin adds a nice texture once they’re caramelized.
- Caramelize apples in batches – don’t be tempted to cook all the apples at once – they caramelize much better if they all cook in a single layer.
- Use a pizza stone – for a crispy, tender flatbread texture you can’t beat baking these flatbreads on a pizza stone, however, if you don’t own a stone, a large sheet pan will work just fine.
- Top with bacon, pecans, and honey after baking – wait until the flatbreads are finished baking to add these ingredients for best results.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on this flatbread.
- Try another fruit – try pears or peaches in place of the apples.
- Use another cheese – try smoked gouda, sharp cheddar, or fresh mozzarella in place of the brie cheese.
- Leave out the meat – skip the bacon for a vegetarian flatbread.
- Try another nut – try toasted almonds, walnuts, or pine nuts in place of the pecans.
Make Ahead Instructions

- Caramelize apples – these can be made up and stored in refrigerator up to 3 days.

Ingredients
- 2 medium apples, cored and sliced 1/4-in thick
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 8 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cheese cut into slices
- 2 medium naan flatbreads
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced thyme
- 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted
- 1-2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and place a large pizza stone in oven to heat (if you don't have a pizza stone, instead line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside on counter)
- In a small bowl, toss apple slices with brown sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Lay half of apples in a single layer in pan and let cook undisturbed on first side 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip apples and allow to cook an additional 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove apples from pan and repeat cooking with remaining apples and butter.
- Arrange brie cheese slices and caramelized apples on flatbreads. Sprinkle thyme over top. If using pizza stone, use a peel to slide flatbreads onto stone in oven. If using baking sheet, transfer flatbreads to baking sheet.
- Bake flatbreads at 400F 10-15 minutes until edges of flatbread begin to crisp up and cheese is melted.
- Remove flatbreads from oven and top with crispy bacon bits, toasted pecans, and a drizzle of honey. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!

Do you cut the rind off of the Brie? The cheese had a stronger taste than I was expecting and I’m thinking it is because I left on the rind.
Sarah says
Hi Meredith – yes, when using brie cheese it’s always a good idea to trim the rind off.
