Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1 large diced apple, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, cooking for 5 minutes until apples are tender and caramelized.
Step 2: Roll out 2 thawed puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut each into 16 squares approximately 2.5 inches wide.
Step 3: Place a slice of Brie cheese (about 1/2 oz) in the center of each square, then top with about 1 tbsp of the caramelized apple mixture.
Step 4: Fold corners of each pastry square toward the center and pinch to seal, brushing each with beaten egg to ensure golden color.
Step 5: Arrange the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Step 6: Remove from oven and cool slightly, then dust lightly with powdered sugar to create a snowy effect before serving warm.
