Caramel Apple Bites with Brie
Caramel Apple Bites with Brie are a quick apple tart recipe using puff pastry. The best mix between mini caramel apples and salted caramel apple pie!
Ingredients:
- 2 puff pastry sheets thawed
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 apple cored and chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 ounces creamy brie rind removed and cut into 24 pieces
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- fleur de sel for sprinkling, optional
Direction
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease the wells of 24 mini muffin tins with cooking spray or preferably with vegetable shortening.
- Roll out the puff pasty sheet on a floured surface. Roll each into a rectangle, cut into 12 2-inch squares. Press each square into a muffin well.
- Brush each piece of dough with beaten egg and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the pastry from the oven and using a spoon, pat down the centers of each to make a well large enough for brie and apple mix. Remove the cups from the pan to cool.
- While the pastry is baking, combine the apples, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Stir the mixture over medium-low heat until the apples are soft.
- Place a small piece of brie in each pastry cup, top with a small amount of apple mix, caramel sauce and sprinkle of Fleur de Sel.
- Serve caramel apple bites warm or at room temperature.
