Easy Baked Apple Brie Bites

These bites feature buttery pastry filled with melted brie cheese and sweet apple slices, baked until golden brown. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 8 people.

Ingredients

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1 cup brie cheese, cut into small pieces
1 medium apple, thinly sliced (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Honey for drizzling (optional)
Chopped walnuts or pecans for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 2-inch squares.
Assemble the Bites: Place a small piece of brie cheese and a few apple slices in the center of each pastry square. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Fold and Seal: Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket. Pinch to seal and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the bites with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly, then drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. Serve warm.
