Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
- In medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, thyme, onions, squash and peppers; sauté for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Add apple, sauté 2 minutes.
- Stir in water and sauté for about 8 to 10 min or until squash is tender and liquid has evaporated.
- On large ovenproof platter, arrange Canadian Brie halves (semi-circles) with backs touching and cut edges facing out; spoon vegetable mixture on top of each half. (Make ahead: Cover and refrigerate, for up to one day, bring to room temperature before baking or allow extra time for melting).
