Make It

In a medium bowl, whisk the ingredients for the Pepsi Dijon Glaze. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place baguette slices on a large cookie sheet. Bake until lightly toasted, for 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, add arugula to a large bowl and toss with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Slice the brie and apple.
