1/4 cup of apricot preserves

1/4 cup of dried cranberries

1/4 cup of chopped pecans

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Spread apricot preserves evenly over the top of the brie.

5. Sprinkle dried cranberries and chopped pecans on top of the preserves.

6. Fold the puff pastry over the brie, trimming any excess and ensuring it is completely covered.

9. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

10. Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.
