Pastry Wrapped Baked Brie with Maple Roasted Apples, a simple, yummy, holiday appetizer we can all make and enjoy! Store-bought puff pastry wrapped around creamy brie cheese with apple butter (or use fig preserves). Then bake until the pastry is golden and the brie is warm and melted. Top this flaky pastry with sweet, buttery maple-roasted apples. They’re so delicious over the melty wheel of brie. SO MUCH YUMMINESS – always a favorite at holiday parties!

I was trying to figure out just what recipes to share on these final days leading up to Thanksgiving. I wasn’t sure what type of recipes you all might need most this week. Is it more Thanksgiving recipes, quick appetizers, or desserts?

I have ideas for them all. It’s the time of year when my mind never quiets. I’m always thinking of what to make. So many good recipes to share! I decided that easy dinners were an absolute must (yesterday’s yummy ramen). Then one appetizer, because we all need last-minute appetizers (today’s brie). And for tomorrow, well I just couldn’t wait anymore so we’ll be jumping into Christmas.

It’s time for Christmas cookies!

But today we’ve got pastry-wrapped baked brie. I serve some variation at every Thanksgiving and Christmas gathering. It’s my family’s favorite, and always the easiest to prepare.

This recipe is one I’ve had on rotation since 2017. It’s such an easy way to prepare brie and the maple butter roasted apples really make it so delish. I know you’re going to love this recipe!

Details

Step 1: roast the apples

I love to use Honeycrisp apples. Thinly slice them and toss them with salted butter and maple syrup. Then, roast them up in the oven until they begin to caramelize in the maple. They’re really delicious and your kitchen will smell wonderful too!

If you don’t love apples, I recommend making my cranberry brie instead.

Step 2: assemble the brie

One thing my Nonnie taught me, was that appetizers are best when they’re simple. Therefore, store-bought puff pastry is a must. Especially during the busy holidays.

Unwrap the brie, then sit it on top of the pastry. Top the brie with the apple butter. Or mix the apple butter with fig preserves (this is what I do and what we love most), Then wrap the brie up tight inside the pastry dough.

Step 3: bake

Now, brush the pastry with a beaten egg and add a sprinkle of coarse sugar. This step isn’t needed, but it makes the pastry really sparkle. It’s fun for the holidays and makes the flaky pastry extra delicious.

Throw the brie in the oven, and wait for the apples to finish up and the brie to bake.

When the brie comes out of the oven, serve it immediately topped with the maple apples and any sauce left in the pan. You can enjoy this with your favorite crackers or toasted bread. It’s hard to describe just how good this really is. But if you love apples and you love brie, you must make this. It’s classic but turned up a notch, and it really is roll-your-eyes-back GOOD.

Promise, this will be the favorite appetizer of the night! If you want to add a pop of red, try a few pomegranate arils. That would be so pretty!

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425° F.
    2. In a baking dish, combine the apples, butter, and maple syrup. Transfer to the oven and roast for 25 minutes, until soft and caramelized.
    3. Layer the puff pastry flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the brie in the center of the pastry and remove a little of the rind from the top of the brie. I leave the rind on the bottom and sides intact. Spread the apple butter/fig preserves over top. Fold the corners of the pastry over the brie. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with coarse sugar.
    4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is deep golden brown. 
    5. Spoon the roasted apples over the brie. Top with thyme. Enjoy with your favorite crackers or just with a spoon. YUM!

  1. I made this appetizer for my family after they were outside on a cool fall day. They DEVOURED this. Thank you for all the best recipes 🙂

  6. Ok, so I must confess I’m not a big brie fan. I wish I was because this really does look amazing!! I love the color on the pastry.

  10. Hey Tieghan,
    This looks lovely for a fall appetizer! I feel like the apple is perfect for the rich and cream Bree. Do you have any good apple cake or loaf (haha or muffin) recipes? I feel like it’s tough to find a good apple cake (or muffin) recipe that’s light and fluffy but still has nice apple chuncks (like carrot cake- but for fall). ?
    Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing more apple and fall inspired recipes and I hope the retreat went well!

    1. Hi Kristin!
      I am so glad you are liking this recipe! I do have some other apple recipes up on the blog that are recent if you want to check those out and I’ll put a link at the bottom of this comment to a cinnamon apple crumble cake that I think you will like! Also, you can search all the apple recipes through search bar at the top right corner on my site! I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions! ?

      1. Hey Tieghan,
        Thanks for sharing the apple cake recipe (I wasn’t able to respond directly to your comment, for some reason). I actually made that cake for my mom a while back and she loved it! Maybe I can make it again when I visit. Thanks for your help! ☺️??

  11. How do I this in advance? I need it an event that begins at 5:30 and I won’t arrive until then. How can I pre- prep this?

    1. Hi Virginia! You can wrap the brie and roast the apples in advance. I would bake the brie when you arrive and then just warm the apples right before serving. Does this help? Let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe!

    1. Hey Anna! I like to just serve it with appetizer spoons or knives and let people break into and get some cheese with the pastry. The pastry acts as the bread. That said, crackers would still be delicious with this as well. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this!

  14. Love these so much. I totally go against the grain and use salted butter in all my baking. It’s controversial but it totally works. They look amazing!
