Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets)
- 8 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp honey (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut them into 3-inch squares.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined.
- Place a small piece of brie cheese in the center of each puff pastry square, followed by a spoonful of the apple mixture.
- Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a pocket, pinching the edges to seal. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
- Place the filled pastry bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before drizzling with honey.
Notes
Tip: Serve these bites warm for the best flavor and texture!
For extra crunch, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts to the filling, such as walnuts or pecans. You can also experiment with different types of apples; tart varieties like Granny Smith add a nice contrast to the richness of brie.
Storing leftovers? Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness!
