Ingredients

• 1 tube (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 round (8 oz) Brie cheese wheel
• 3 tablespoons Dried apricots
• 3 tablespoons Dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon (for dusting) All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour. Unroll the crescent dough and gently press the seams together to form a single sheet.

Step 3

Place the brie wheel in the center of the crescent dough.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the dried apricots, dried cranberries, slivered almonds, and honey. Spread this mixture evenly on top of the brie cheese.

Step 5

Carefully fold the crescent dough over the brie and toppings, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal.

Step 6

In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the dough to give it a golden, shiny finish.

Step 7

Place the wrapped brie on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.

Step 10

Transfer the baked brie to a serving platter and enjoy warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices.
