Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 (8-ounce) round Brie cheese
- ½ medium apple, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lay a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 2 large squares by pressing firmly along the perforations. Each should be about 6 inches square.
- Assemble the Brie and Apples: Place the Brie cheese in the center of the first dough square on the parchment paper. Top the Brie with the thinly sliced apples and sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar.
- Wrap and Seal: Pull up the sides of the dough around the Brie and apples, then place the second dough square on top, enclosing the filling. Press firmly around the edges to seal the dough completely.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the beaten egg all over the assembled dough to promote browning and a glossy finish during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with crackers or extra apple slices for a perfect appetizer.
Notes
- Make sure to seal the dough edges well to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut thin slices of apple for even cooking and texture.
- You can substitute light brown sugar with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
- Choose a mild Brie to avoid overpowering flavors.
- For a vegan or dairy-free option, substitute Brie with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Serve within one day for best freshness and texture.
