Follow these steps to create the Easy Cranberry Pecan Baked Brie:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Cranberry Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to burst and the mixture becomes syrupy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
3. Prepare the Brie: If using puff pastry, roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Place the wheel of brie in the center of the pastry.
4. Add the Topping: Spoon the cranberry and pecan mixture over the brie.
5. Wrap the Brie (Optional): If using puff pastry, fold the pastry over the brie, sealing it completely. Cut off any excess pastry and press to seal.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Place the wrapped brie (or the brie by itself if not using pastry) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is gooey and the pastry is golden brown.
8. Let it Cool: Once baked, let the dish cool for a few minutes to avoid burns.
9. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
