Method
In a large non-stick pan, melt butter completely. Add onions and cook until tender, then add sugar, cranberries and pecans. Cook on medium heat until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat and allow to simmer on low heat for approximately 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Mixture will begin to caramelize. Remove from heat. Place wheel of brie in the middle of partially-baked pie crust, pour cranberry mixture over top and bake in a 325 degree oven for 20 minutes or until brie is softened all the way through and pie crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and slice wheel of brie (not the crust) with a sharp knife several times so that the melted brie will ooze together with other ingredients. Allow to cool slightly, then cut into thin pie slices. (Cranberry mixture may be made a day ahead and rewarmed.)
