Brie and Apple Tarts

I've made these a few different ways as a shout out to baked brie in a more manageable and pre-portioned size. In a pinch you can wrap crescent rolls around apple and brie slices and pop 'em in the oven. The cheese is a little understated so don't be shy with it. You might also consider bringing another cheese or two to the party if you have other interesting fruit and cheese pairings on hand.

Individual Brie and Apple Tarts

1 box (2 sheets) of puff pastry, thawed
1 green apple
1 Tbsp brown sugar, divided
1 Tbsp butter, divided
1/4 tsp cinnamon, divided
1 medium wedge of brie
1 egg
flour (for rolling)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured board and roll it slightly with a floured rolling pin until it's a 10 by 10-inch square. Cut the sheet into quarters with a sharp knife. Place a good-sized slice of brie and 3 or 4 this slices of apple the middle of each of the 4 squares. Sprinkle apples with cinnamon and brown sugar and top with a pat of butter. Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash and fold 2 opposite corners to the center, brushing and overlapping the corners of each pastry so they firmly stick together. Brush the top of the pastries with egg wash. Place the pastries on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.

Bake the pastries for about 20 minutes, rotating the pan once during baking, until puffed and brown. Serve warm.

Baked apples and brie in pastry! How can you go wrong?

[Debbie Bello]

I love it, I have not had anything like this in so long. I think it is time to break that streak. Thank you for your recipe.

A friend pinned this recipe on Pinterest so I decided to have a closer look. You can't go wrong when fast and easy equals delicious, can you? Bet it would be good w/ Bosc pears & brie as well.

Kate and Joann- These were good the last time I made them, but I recently updated the recipe with a little cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter to make them even better. Bosc pears would be great too!

This is so cute and looks easy! I can't wait to make it Easter weekend. Thanks!

These look yummy with green apple. I have made something similar using apricots with brie and added finely chopped walnuts. I will definitely try yours. Thanks for sharing.

[Charlette]

Love this idea! You are a winner if you leave as is or dress it up with some whipped cream or a nice scoop of ice cream!

[Val]

I can't figure out how you folded them so that the apple peeks out?

[Jan Messali]

Made these last week and loved them! Thanks for the recipe.

i have done this with fatfree organic crescent roll dough and premade frozen dough comes out great just needs a touch more sugar

[Kathryn]

Looks amazing, but is this a dessert or a starter?
