Filo Wrapped Baked Brie n Apples

This is a great party dish. It takes 10 minutes to make, 20 minutes to cook..and feeds 6-12 people depending on the size of the Brie wheel you buy. So without further ado..here it is!

Filo Wrapped Baked Brie n Apples:


1 Large Bri (Ours is 34oz / 2lbs 2oz / about 12" diameter)
2 Large Apples
1 Stick of Butter (melted)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup of your favorite jam ( this is an alternate addition to add)
1 cup chopped Walnuts or Pecans


     Pre heat oven to 350. Get out your sheet pan and butter it then trim off the wax / crust from the entire Brie. Trim the top of the Brie  to make sure it is flat. Flip the Brie over...now this flattened top will now be the bottom.

     Place 4 layers of  filo  on your buttered sheet pan. Brush some of the melted butter on, in between each sheet. Then place the Brie on the layers of Brie. If you choose to use your favorite jam, take 1 cup of it and spread it over the top of the Brie. Take the 4 bottom layers of Brie and fold it up the sides of the Brie. Then lay 4 more layers, each with melted butter on it, on top of the Brie. Fold the sides down.

     Slice your apples into this slices and layer it in a circle on the top of the Brie pastry, then sprinkle the brown sugar of the top. If you have any pecans or walnuts, sprinkle these over the top as the last ingredient. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, until filo is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for 30 minutes  (in our case, we set it outside in the freezing cold for 10 minutes!) and then slice and serve with water crackers.
