Warm Brie with Baked Apples

4 large Granny Smith apples   
lemon juice
2 tablespoons  unsalted butter  
1 medium onion  
1/4 cup honey  
1/4 cup sugar  
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup grapes sliced in half
1/3 cup sliced almonds lightly toasted
1 large wheel brie
1 loaf crusty bread sliced

Peel, quarter and slice apples.  Sprinkle with lemon juice to
prevent discoloring; set aside.

Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan.  Add onions and
saute until lightly brown and caramelized.  Remove from pan to a
plate; set aside.  Add honey and sugar to pan and stir until it
has liquified.  Add apples and continue stirring until apples are
almost cooked.  Add grapes and raisins. Continue cooking until
sugar has caramelized.

Pour the apple mixture into a 2 qt. ceramic souffle dish or other
ovenproof dish.  Sprinkle with the toasted almonds.

Cut brie into 1" chunks and spread evenly over the apple mixture.
Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese
has melted and turned lightly golden.
