Steps:
- Put the cheese in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to chill.
- Bring the cranberry juice and brown sugar to a boil in a small saucepan and add the cranberries. Turn off the heat and let the cranberries plump for about 10 minutes. Transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl, add the pecans, honey and cinnamon and mix together.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roll one of the sheets of puff pastry thinner with a rolling pin. Place the cheese on the center of the pastry. Top the cheese with the cranberry-nut mixture. Bring the edges of the pastry to the center and press together; brush the edges with the egg wash so they adhere.
- Cut three 1-inch-thick strips from the remaining puff pastry sheet. Cross the first 2 strips on top on the cheese so they intersect in the center like a ribbon wrapping a present. Seal the edges with egg wash. Bring the ends of the third strip of puff pastry up and over to create a bow shape, with the ends hanging down. Place in the center of the cheese and secure with egg wash. Brush the remaining pastry with egg wash.
- Bake until the pastry is light golden brown, tenting it if it begins to brown too much, about 40 minutes. Let rest briefly. Serve with crackers.

CRANBERRY BRIE SHEET PAN BISCUITS
These shortcut biscuits skip the rolling and cutting of typical biscuits, but deliver the same flaky, tender, golden results we all love. This version is jazzed up with a trio of herbs, savory Brie cheese and sweet cranberries for a festive addition to a holiday brunch or dinner. You can make the dough and spread it on the sheet pan the night before, so you've only got to pop them in the oven on the day of your event.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and 2 teaspoons of the salt in a large bowl. Rub 4 tablespoons of the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 16 tablespoons butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized bits of butter remain. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. (Don't overmix the dough.)
- Add the Brie, parsley, cranberries, chives and thyme to the bowl and gently mix with lightly floured hands, folding the dough over itself (this is where the flaky layers will form) until the ingredients are just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto the prepared sheet pan and use lightly floured hands to evenly distribute the dough into the pan. Using a paring knife, gently score 24 squares on top of the dough, making sure the knife does not cut through to the bottom of the biscuit. (If baking the biscuits the following day, cover gently with plastic wrap at this point and refrigerate up to 24 hours.)
- Brush the top of the dough with more buttermilk. Bake until the biscuit top is lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then use a paring knife to follow the score marks to cut through the biscuits.
- Meanwhile, mix the honey with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the honey over the warm biscuits. Serve the biscuits warm or at room temperature with more butter, if desired.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries will give your cups a tart and juicy flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast the pecans in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or you can roast them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.
- Use a good quality brie cheese: The brie cheese is the star of this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a brie cheese that is creamy and flavorful.
- Don't overbake the cups: The cups should be baked until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you overbake the cups, the pastry will become dry and the cheese will become rubbery.
- Serve the cups warm: The cups are best served warm, when the cheese is melted and gooey. You can serve the cups with a dollop of cranberry sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Conclusion:
Cranberry pecan brie cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The cups are made with a flaky pastry crust, a creamy brie cheese filling, and a sweet and tart cranberry pecan topping. They are baked until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The cups can be served warm or at room temperature, and they are sure to be a hit with your guests.
