Every good party needs a baked brie recipe to dig into, and this one is perfect for the holiday season. This Apple Pie Baked Brie, topped with apple pie filling, chopped pecans, and caramel, and then baked inside a crescent roll dough, is elegant and still ooey gooey. It combines two of my favorite things, baked brie and a taste of homemade apple pie! I’m a firm believer that every appetizer should include lots and lots of cheese.

What is brie cheese?
Brie is one of those mild, creamy cheeses that is a universal favorite. The large, round cheese is perfect to add to a buffet because it serves well at room temperature or baked, like in this recipe. Plus, it tastes delicious when paired with all kinds of things: fruit, jam, crackers, nuts, or bread. The sky’s the limit when working with Brie!
Brie and apples
One of my favorite combinations is cheese and apples. The tart, tangy apple complements the mild, creamy cheese like no other. Add in apple pie flavors and you get one scrumptious mouth-watering appetizer!
Can you eat the rind?
The rind itself it a bit tougher and stronger flavor than the creamy inside. It is edible and won’t hurt you or anything. Just a matter of personal preference.
Can it be made ahead of time?
This baked brie recipe can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a day or two before baking. One less thing to do last minute! You want to serve it warm, right out of the oven, so the cheese is soft and the pastry dough is completely baked.
Serving Suggestions
This dip is so good, you can eat it plain. The delicate pastry crust holds everything together so you can just take a big scoop. But you could also serve it alongside apple slices, graham crackers, bread or carrot sticks.
Recipe Notes and Tips
Use the crescent dough that is in sheets without seams so that the fillings don’t escape. Use a triple creamed brie for a super rich bite. I used canned apple pie filling so that this is super easy or you can make your own.
This is one delicious and easy appetizer that everyone will love! It’s a real showstopper and made for sharing!
