Apple butter brie bites are an easy, 4-ingredient appetizer for fall. Flaky puff pastry is filled with gooey brie cheese, apple butter, and crunchy pecans.
Preheat oven to 375℉. Lightly spray a 24 mini muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Place puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface (or a sheet of parchment paper) and roll out into slightly rectangular shapes. Slice each puff pastry sheet into 12 squares, for 24 total squares. Gently press each square into your prepared mini muffin pan.
Prick the bottom of each puff pastry with a fork.
Slice brie into 24 cubes and add a cube to each puff pastry cup, topped with 1 teaspoon of apple butter and 1 teaspoon of chopped pecans.
Bake for about 20-24 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden brown across the tops.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan and serving. Bites can be served warm or room temperature.
Notes
Serve fresh: For best flavor and texture, serve your puff pastry bites within an hour of baking.
Make ahead: Assemble your puff pastry bites and store in the refrigerator, unbaked, for up to 8 hours before baking.
Leftovers: Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days but will get soft and lose their crispy texture.
Variations: Try other flavors of jam, cheese, and nuts as desired. To make savory puff pastry bites, swap out apple butter for pesto or pepper jelly.
