Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
- 8 ounce round of brie (use up to a 12-ounce round)
- ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 6 dried apricots finely chopped
- ¼ cup Chopped Pecans toasted*
- 4 slices Bacon cooked and chopped**
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Unfold the puff pastry and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a serrated knife to cut the top rind off of the brie. (You can remove the sides of the brie if you like, but all parts of it are edible.)
- Set the prepared cheese in the center of the puff pastry.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, apricots, pecans, bacon, and cinnamon.
- Spoon about 3/4 of the cranberry mixture over the brie. Set aside the remaining mixture to use as garnish.
- Gently fold the puff pastry up and around the brie. Use your fingers to pinch the dough closed.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
- When the pastry has cooled, garnish with the remaining cranberry mixture. Serve with crackers, apple slices, or toasted bread.

Notes
- * To toast pecans, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans out on a small baking pan. Cook until they begin to brown (about 6-7 minutes). Remove from the oven and cool.
- ** Substitute 1/4 cup "Real Bacon" bits for the cooked bacon.
