Steps:
- With sharp knife, carefully remove rind from cheese. Wrap cheese in plastic wrap; freeze 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat apple, cherries, sugar and 1/4 cup of the water to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fruit is tender.
- In small bowl, mix cornstarch, cinnamon, remaining 1/4 cup water and orange juice until well blended. Add to apple mixture, stirring constantly. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat; stir in walnuts.
- Heat oven to 375°F Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. On foil in pan, unroll dough into 1 large rectangle (if using crescent rolls, firmly press perforations to seal). Press into 11x9-inch rectangle. Cut 11x3-inch strip from 1 side of rectangle; set aside.
- Cut cheese round horizontally to make 2 rounds. Place cheese rounds next to each other in center of dough rectangle. Roll sides of dough up next to cheese, forming a rim around cheese. Top cheese evenly with apple mixture. Cut remaining strip of dough into 6 (1/2-inch wide) strips. Place 3 strips lengthwise across cheese. Cut remaining strips in half; place across other strips to make lattice; press edges to seal, tucking under if necessary. Fold foil edges up about 1 inch from dough; pinch corners of foil together.
- Bake uncovered 30 minutes. Cover with foil; bake about 5 minutes longer or until golden brown and cheese is softened. Let stand 10 minutes. To serve, cut in half lengthwise, then into crosswise strips. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use firm apples: For best results, choose apples that are firm and crisp, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Slice the apples thinly: Thinly sliced apples will cook more evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the apples, don't overcrowd the pan or they will steam instead of caramelizing.
- Use a non-stick pan: To prevent the apples from sticking, use a non-stick pan.
- Don't overcook the apples: Overcooked apples will become mushy, so cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Use high-quality brie cheese: For the best flavor, use a high-quality brie cheese that is ripe but not too soft.
- Bake the brie until it is melted and bubbly: The brie should be melted and bubbly when it comes out of the oven.
- Serve the brie immediately: Brie is best served immediately after it is baked.
Conclusion:
Apple cherry brie appetizer is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apples, tart cherries, and creamy brie cheese is irresistible. This appetizer is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
