Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Fuji Apple (small dice)
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Sage (more for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp Honey (more for drizzling)
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 Brie Round
  • 1 Sheet of Puff Pastry (thawed)
  • Egg Wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk)
  • 1/3 cup Chopped Walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
  • Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add in the apples, chopped sage, honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix to combine the ingredients. When the juices start bubbling, decrease the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes until the apples become soft and caramelize to a deep golden brown color. Stir frequently to prevent the sugars from burning. When the apples are done, remove it from the heat and set it aside for later.
  • Unfold the thawed puff pastry onto a clean surface. Add the apple mixture to the center of the puff pastry, spreading it into a circle that's about the same size as the round of brie. Place the brie on top of the apples. Fold the puff pastry up onto the brie until the surface is completely enclosed in it. Brush the entire surface with the egg wash. Invert the brie onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper so that the seam side is now facing down. Brush the new surface with the egg wash. Bake the brie in the oven for about 30 minutes. The puff pastry should be golden brown.
  • While the brie is baking, add the chopped walnuts to a small pan. Heat over medium low heat to toast the walnuts. They will release oils and become fragrant. This should take about 3-5 minutes. When the walnuts are toasted, remove them from the heat and set them aside for later.
  • When the brie is done baking, remove it from the oven. Allow it to stand for about 3-5 minutes before using a spatula to lift it from the sheet tray onto a serving platter. Drizzle a little honey on top of the puff pastry. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top. The honey will prevent them from falling off. Drizzle a bit more honey on top of the walnuts. Garnish with fresh sage leaves and serve with any accompanying items. Enjoy!
