Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C).

In a large baking dish, mix fruit with 1/4 cup (60 mL) brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and star anise. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring a few times.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine dry ingredients with 1/3 cup (80 mL) brown sugar. Add cold butter and cut into dry ingredients using a fork, until a fine granular texture is obtained. Stir in milk until well combined.

Remove fruit from oven, discard star anise and arrange Brie slices evenly over fruit. Place spoonfuls of dough on top of Brie and continue baking in the oven for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
