Crescent Wrapped Apple Brie Recipe

*Recipe from Walmart Holiday Entertaining Guide & used with permission

Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent dinner roll dough
• 1 (8 oz.) round Brie cheese
• 1/2 apple, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• Crackers or apple slices for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Unroll dough; separate crosswise into 2 sections. Press each section into 6-inch square, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
3. Place the Brie on the center of first dough square. Arrange apple slices on top, and sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the apples.
4. Pull up the sides of the bottom dough square, then place the remaining dough square on top of the Brie, apples and brown sugar. Press dough evenly around cheese, pressing to seal completely. Brush beaten egg all over the dough. Place on cookie sheet.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
6. Serve the Brie with crackers or apple slices.

This apple and Brie recipe is easy to make and is really, quite delicious! My daughter and I really enjoyed it! The Brie and apple flavors combine with the brown sugar to create a cheesy and wonderfully sweet treat that goes great with crackers. Since it displays beautifully and is a quick and easy appetizer, this Crescent Wrapped Apple Brie would also work great for a New Year’s Eve party!
