• Place one half of brie, cut side up, into a large baking pan. Spread half of the apricot mixture evenly over bottom half of brie. Top with half of the pecans and remaining half of brie, cut side up. Spread remaining apricot mixture over brie. Sprinkle with remaining pecans. Cut the baguette on a bias into twenty-four 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the baguette slices around the brie. Spray with oil.

Steps:

• To make the chile-pecan paste, put the pecans into a food processor and blitz until totally ground. Gradually add the oil-the mixture should begin to come together. Now add the chile paste, garlic granules, and salt. Turn the broiler to high.
• Spread half the chile-pecan paste in an even layer over the bread slices and put them on a baking sheet. Cut the Brie into slices and put them on top of the pecan paste. Sprinkle with the sugar and place under the broiler until it has caramelized. This should only take 5 minutes, but it can vary depending on your broiler.
• Put the remainder of the chile-pecan paste into a jar. It will keep in the fridge for up to 1 month. You can use it on toast or cookies-I enjoy it spread on salty crackers when I'm peckish in the middle of the night.
