• Pour boiling water over apricot pieces in a small bowl. Cool.
• In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and dates.

BAKED BRIE IN PUFF PASTRY WITH APRICOT PRESERVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Carefully unfold the thawed sheet of puff pastry dough on a clean, dry surface and gently roll out a bit. It's already thin, so you won't need to roll much - just enough to fix the creases that usually form where the dough has been folded and stretch the edges a bit. If desired, cut out a small shape from one of the corners of the dough to decorate the top of the baked brie later.
• Measure the apricot preserves and spoon them directly into the center of the puff pastry dough, then gently lay the wheel of brie on top of the preserves. There is no need to remove the outer white rind of the brie unless you feel like it. I kind of prefer having the rind so I always leave it.
• Combine the egg and water in a small bowl and whisk with a fork to create an egg wash. Using the egg wash and a pastry brush or just your fingers, brush the edges of the exposed puff pastry, then fold it up around the exposed brie, starting from one corner and working your way around, to create a nicely wrapped little package.
• Flip the wrapped wheel of brie over and lay it seam side down on the parchment lined baking sheet. Top with the decorate piece of puff pastry, if desired, and brush lightly with remaining egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest for 30 minutes before serving with pears, grapes, apples, crackers or a sliced baguette.

APRICOT CHAMBORD BRIE

Steps:

• Heat an oven to 425F. Arrange the chopped apricots and apples in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Roast the fruit in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it turns light brown and caramelizes. Allow the roasted fruit to cool for 5 minutes. Gently toss the roasted apricots and apples with the toasted pecans and raspberry jam until they are thoroughly mixed. Reduce the oven heat to 400F. Cut the Brie in half, crosswise, and evenly spread the roasted apricot filling across the cut surface of the bottom half. Replace the top half of the Brie so it resembles a sandwich. Roll each sheet of dough into a 13-inch square. Trim the edges of each pastry sheet so that it forms a circle. Carefully place the filled Brie into the center of one pastry circle and gather up the edges of the dough on top of the Brie. Place the second pastry circle on top of the Brie and tuck the edges of it under the bottom of the wrapped cheese. Beat the egg and milk together and brush it over the surface of the pastry. Place the Brie en croûte on a clean, lightly greased baking sheet and bake it for 35 to 40 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. While the Brie is baking, make the Chambord glaze. Stir the Chambord and apple cider together over medium heat. The mixture will come to a simmer quickly; continue cooking and stirring it until it reduces in volume and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Set the glaze aside to cool to room temperature. Allow the Brie to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving with the Chambord glaze brushed or drizzled over it. This apricot Chambord Brie recipe makes 8 to 10 servings.
