Ingredients

• Apples – I used golden delicious apples for this recipe. The apples should be peeled and thinly sliced for best results.
• Brie cheese – Brie cheese can easily be found in the chiller section of you local supermarket. It has a great flavour and bakes really well.
• Puff pastry – I used a sheet of ready to roll puff pastry cut into 16 equal squares.
• Egg – A whisked egg is used to brush the tops of the pastry to give it a golden colour when baked.

NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Cut puff pastry into squares – Cut the puff pastry sheet into 16 equal squares and place them on your baking sheet.
3. Top and fold pastry squares – Top each pastry square with 3 – 4 apple slices and then top the apple slices with a square of brie cheese. Fold the corners of the puff pastry into the centre and gently press together so they don’t come apart. Brush all the pastries with the whisked egg.
4. Bake and serve – Bake between 15 – 20 minutes until golden and puffed up. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Recipe Tips

• Using puff pastry – Make sure you pastry is fully defrosted or it will break when trying to use it. Also, make sure it’s cold or it will be difficult to work with.
• Cut the apples evenly – Make sure to cut the apples as even as you can to ensure they all cook and are soft.
• Make ahead – You can prepare these up to 24 hours before baking. Just over and keep refrigerated until you are about to bake and serve.

Substitutions

• Puff pastry – You can use phyllo dough, shortcrust pastry, pizza dough, pie crust or even biscuit dough. All of these will yield slightly different results, but they will work.
• Apples – For a different flavour, you could even use pears.
• Brie Cheese – Camembert, goat cheese or Feta would all make good alternatives.
