Need a quick and easy Thanksgiving appetizer? Look no further! This raspberry baked brie is a beloved app in our house and is so easy to make--all it takes is three ingredients, brie, puff pastry, and raspberry chipotle sauce, to get a delicious and impressive app for your guests.
I love this recipe because of all the textures. The ooey, gooey melty texture of the cheese combined with the delicate layers of puff pastry, the sweet-spiciness of the raspberry chipotle sauce, and the crispness of the apples! Yum!
Simply unroll the puff pastry sheets until they're flat, place the brie wheel on top of the puff pastry, add some raspberry chipotle sauce, wrap the brie and bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
I'm partial to using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls for the puff pastry and Fischer and Wieser's Razzpotle Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce, but you can also use other jams or honey in its place. On Thanksgiving, we tend to use the disposable aluminum pans because it helps cut down on dishes. Alternatively, you can use a baking sheet with parchment paper. However, don't cut off the rind of the brie, because that holds in the melted cheese while the puff pastry bakes--trust me, you won't even notice the rind once the cheese is done!
Slice with a cheese knife and serve warm with sliced Honeycrisp or Gala apples and you'll be in brie heaven!

Can it be prepped few hours in advance and reheated before serving?

Hi Chitra, if you want to make it in advance, I’d suggest wrapping the Brie in the pastry and then refrigerating before baking it, and pop it in the oven to bake just before you plan to serve it. Otherwise the pastry may overbrown.
