Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 1 wheel of brie cheese
- 1 apple, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature is ideal for baking the crescent rolls until they are golden brown and flaky.
- Unroll the package of crescent roll dough on a clean, flat surface. Carefully separate the dough into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Take the wheel of brie cheese and cut it into 12 equal wedges. Each wedge should be about the size of the base of the crescent roll triangle.
- Place one wedge of brie cheese at the wider end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Take the apple and slice it thinly. You will need enough slices to place one or two on top of the brie cheese in each crescent roll.
- Layer one or two slices of the thinly sliced apple on top of the brie cheese in each triangle. The apple adds a sweet and tart flavor that complements the creamy brie.
- Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of honey over the apple slices and brie on each crescent roll. This will enhance the sweetness and create a delicious glaze.
- Starting at the wide end, gently roll up each crescent roll towards the point, enclosing the brie and apple filling as you go. Make sure to tuck in the edges to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.
- Place the rolled crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion while baking.
- Once all the crescent rolls are on the baking sheet, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of each roll. This will add a delightful sweetness and a hint of spice.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove the crescent rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy the gooey brie, sweet apples, and honey in every bite!
Tips
- Choose a ripe but firm apple like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor balance
- Make sure your brie is at room temperature for easier slicing and melting
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup
- Don't overstuff your crescent rolls - this can cause them to burst during baking
- Let the rolls cool for 2-3 minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set slightly
- For an extra gourmet touch, garnish with fresh thyme or a light drizzle of additional honey before serving
- These are best served warm, so time your preparation to coincide with when guests are ready to eat
