Cover the surface of the brie with a little honey (1-2 tsp). Place the wheel of brie on a tray with a piece of parchment paper. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until very soft but not melting/falling apart.

In a medium-size skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple/honey mixture and saute for 2 minutes. Add walnuts, lemon zest, caraway and salt. Cook for 4-5 more minutes, stirring regularly to avoid scorching the honey. The mixture is done when it has become thick/sticky and reached a caramel colour.
