Step by Step:

MAKE THE CRANBERRY SAUCE:
1. Add sugar and water to a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Next, lower the heat to a simmer over low heat and add the cranberries. Bring the mixture to a boil again (this is important for the sauce to thicken!), and then reduce the heat to a simmer over medium low heat.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are mostly broken down. This will take about 10 minutes.
4. Next, stir in your mix-ins of choice. Use the sauce right away, or transfer to the fridge to store for up to a week before using.

MAKE THE BAKED BRIE:
1. Place the brie round in a brie baker or similar oven-safe dish, or on a parchment lined baking sheet.
2. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes, until nice and melty.
3. Transfer to a serving platter and brush the top of the brie with the maple syrup.
4. Spoon the cranberry sauce on top, and serve with crackers, baguette slices, etc.
