Ingredients Needed
- 2 Honeycrisp apples, sliced
- 3 tablespoons (45g) salted butter
- 3 tablespoons (45ml) maple syrup
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 wheel brie cheese (8–12 oz / 225–340g)
- 2 tablespoons (30g) apple butter or fig preserves
- 1 egg, beaten
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
- Fresh thyme, for serving
How To Make Puff Pastry Brie Apple
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roast Apples: In a baking dish, combine sliced apples, butter, and maple syrup. Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes until soft and caramelized.
- Prepare Brie: Place puff pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Set the brie wheel in the center, removing just a thin slice of the top rind (leave sides and bottom rind intact). Spread apple butter or fig preserves evenly over the top.
- Wrap Brie: Fold the corners of the puff pastry gently over the brie, creating a sealed packet. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with coarse sugar.
- Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, until pastry turns deep golden brown.
- Serve: Spoon roasted apples over baked brie, garnish with fresh thyme, and serve warm with crackers or enjoy as is.
Recipe Tips
- Choose Firm Apples: Use Honeycrisp or similar firm apples so they hold their shape and don’t turn mushy when roasted.
- Thaw Pastry Properly: Let puff pastry thaw completely in the fridge before using—this prevents cracking and ensures perfect flakiness.
- Trim Brie Carefully: Only remove the top rind; leaving sides and bottom intact keeps the cheese from leaking out during baking.
- Seal Pastry Tightly: Gently press the pastry edges together after folding to avoid it opening and cheese spilling while baking.
- Cool Slightly Before Serving: Allow the baked pastry to sit 5–10 minutes before topping with apples to ensure easy slicing.
How To Store And Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover puff pastry brie apple cool completely to room temperature. Place it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Place leftover puff pastry brie apple on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Warm at 350°F (180°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through and pastry is crisp again.
