Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Brie cheese wheel
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Apple (preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 0.25 cup Pecans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small cubes.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apple and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the apple pieces soften slightly.
Stir in the chopped pecans, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it is large enough to fully wrap around the Brie cheese wheel.
Slice the Brie cheese horizontally into two equal layers, creating a top half and a bottom half.
Spoon the apple-pecan mixture onto the bottom half of the Brie. Spread it evenly, then place the top half of the Brie back on top to reassemble the wheel.
Place the stuffed Brie in the center of the rolled-out puff pastry. Fold the edges of the pastry up and over the Brie, ensuring it is fully enclosed. Trim any excess pastry and press to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush it over the surface of the wrapped Brie to help it achieve a golden brown crust.
Transfer the wrapped Brie to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let the Brie rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit.
