Brie Apple Pastry Bites Recipes

APPLE BRIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Press seams of puff pastry sheet together. Cut sheet into quarters and then each quarter into six pieces. Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece of pastry into a square shape. Place the squares into 24 greased mini muffin cups.
• Put about 1/2 teaspoon of Brie, 1 teaspoon of apple butter and 1/2 teaspoon of chopped pecans into each muffin cup.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes. Serve warm.

APPLE CRANBERRY MINI BRIE BITES

Steps:

• This recipe starts by cutting all your ingredients into the right shape and size. Cut the Brie cheese into 24 pieces about ⅜-inch thick. (I like the skin of Brie cheese, which is entirely edible, but if you don't like it, trim the skin off.)
• Roll the puff pastry out into a 12-inch square and then cut the large square into twelve 3-inch squares.
• Slice the apple into ¼-inch slices, and then cut each slice in half. Cut the pointed tips off the apple slices so they do not pierce through the puff pastry.
• Combine the cranberry sauce with the fresh rosemary in a bowl.
• Now, assemble the mini Brie bites. Brush a little beaten egg around all four edges of each puff pastry square. Dollop half a teaspoon of the cranberry sauce in the middle of the puff pastry. Place a piece of the Brie on top of the cranberry sauce and then top it with a piece of the apple. Wrap the puff pastry up around the filling by pulling up each side of the pastry and bringing it all together in the center to form a "beggar's purse". Pinch the dough together to seal shut and slightly flatten the top down. Brush the bites with more of the egg wash on all sides and chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Pre-heat the air fryer to 360°F.
• Spray or brush the bottom of the basket with a little oil and air-fry the bites in batches for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Let the Brie bites cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
• To make in the oven: Place the mini Brie bites on a baking sheet topped with a piece of parchment paper. Bake in pre-heated 375ºF oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

BRIE-APPLE PASTRY BITES

Steps:

• Unfold puff pastry; cut each sheet into 24 squares. Gently press squares onto the bottoms of 48 greased miniature muffin cups., Combine the cheese, apple, nuts and cranberries; spoon into cups. Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

APPLE BRIE & CARAMELIZED ONION TART

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions with a big pinch of salt and stir. Cook, stirring often, until the onions become caramely, about 25 to 30 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully and lower the heat as needed so the onions don't burn. I usually caramelize mine over low heat. They don't need to be fully caramelized since they will also cook in the oven a bit!
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sheet of puff pastry on the parchment paper. (Note: I did a fancy twist of puff pastry on the edges of mine, I just used the second sheet of puff pastry and cut it into strips, then twisted them. This is not necessary!)
• Place the caramelized onions all over the sheet of puff pastry. Add the brie cheese slices on next. Then cover with the apple slices. Sprinkle on a pinch of salt and pepper if you'd like. Brush the exposed edges of the pastry crust with the egg wash.
• Bake for 2o to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed. Remove and sprinkle with the pomegranate arils. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses. Slice and serve!
• This is best served warm. It's okay at room temperature too! To reheat leftovers, I'd suggest warming them in a low oven for a few minutes. But it is best served right away.
