ByNora Delaney October 22, 2025October 22, 2025

Introduction

This Apple Brie Appetizer is a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors wrapped in golden, flaky crescent rolls. It’s an easy yet impressive treat that works wonderfully for parties or a cozy snack at home.

The image shows four golden brown crescent rolls arranged in a single row on a white rectangular plate, placed on a white marbled surface. Each crescent roll is slightly puffy with a soft, flaky texture and a light golden crust, with melted cheese oozing lightly from the edges, indicating a filling inside. The rolls have a slightly uneven shape, each showing distinct layers from the dough folds wrapped around the cheese filling, which is creamy white and slightly browned on the exposed parts. Small browned spots on the edges suggest the rolls are freshly baked and warm. Some crumbs and small melted cheese spots are visible on the plate near the crescent rolls. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 can crescent rolls
1 Granny Smith apple
4 oz block of Brie cheese
Organic honey, for drizzling

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the crescent rolls on a clean surface, separating them into individual triangles.
Step 2: Slice the Granny Smith apple thinly and cut the Brie into small slices that fit on the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
Step 3: Place one apple slice and one slice of Brie on the widest part of each crescent roll triangle. Drizzle a small amount of organic honey over the apple and Brie.
Step 4: Roll up each crescent roll starting from the widest end, following the crescent roll package instructions.
Step 5: Place the rolled appetizers on a baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.
Step 6: Serve warm and enjoy the melty, sweet, and savory delight!

Tips & Variations

Use tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness of the honey and richness of the Brie.
For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans inside before rolling.
Experiment with drizzling maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweet note.

Storage

Store any leftover appetizers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to regain their crispness. Microwaving is possible but may result in softer rolls.

How to Serve

The image shows seven raw dough triangles laid out on a dark baking tray. Each dough piece is light beige with a soft, smooth texture and placed with the wider side closest to the top of the tray, tapering to a point at the bottom. On the wider end of each triangle, there is one thin green apple slice layered flat. On top of the apple slice sits a thick rectangular piece of creamy white brioche-like cheese with a soft rind. Drizzled over the cheese and apple is a golden syrup or honey that pools slightly between layers, adding shine and a sticky texture. The background is a white marbled texture.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese instead of Brie?

Yes, soft cheeses like Camembert or cream cheese work well, but Brie’s creamy texture and mild flavor complement the apples best.

Can these appetizers be made ahead of time?

You can prepare the rolled appetizers and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. Just let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before baking for even cooking.

Appetizer Ingredients

1 can crescent rolls
1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
4 oz block of Brie cheese, sliced
Organic honey, for drizzling

Instructions

Prepare crescent rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface, separating it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
Add toppings: Place one thin slice of Granny Smith apple and one slice of Brie cheese at the widest end of each crescent roll triangle. Drizzle with a small amount of organic honey directly over the apple and cheese to enhance the flavor.
Roll up crescents: Carefully roll the crescent dough over the apple and Brie, starting from the wide end toward the pointed end, ensuring the filling stays inside. Seal the edges gently with your fingers to prevent leakage during baking.
Bake: Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls turn a golden brown color.
Serve warm: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. These appetizers are best enjoyed warm while the Brie is melty and gooey. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

You can swap Granny Smith apples for any firm, tart apple variety if desired.
For added texture, sprinkle a few chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans inside before rolling.
Use organic honey to complement the flavors with natural sweetness.
Ensure the Brie is sliced thinly for even melting and easy rolling.
Serve with a side of extra honey or a light mustard dip for variety.
