Brie Bake

Brie Bake is one of my favorite things to take to parties... or to just have on a Sunday afternoon. It's good, it's easy, and I haven't met anyone who doesn't love it. Here are two different brie bakes that I've made recently:

Grocery List:
1.) Brie round*
2.) Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent rolls (the kind you have to pop out of the roll, and cook)
3.) Chopped Walnuts
4.) Brown Sugar/Splenda
5.) 3 Granny Smith apples

The first thing that you need to do is remove all the nasty white stuff from the brie. This can be done with a knife, or a cheese cutter, or a combination of the two. Then, slice the brie in half so that you have two rounds.

Lightly salt your walnuts and put them in the toaster over. When they're done, mix them with the brown sugar/Splenda.

Roll out the crescent dough on a cookie sheet, and put one brie round in the middle. Spread the sugary nut mixture on the brie, then add the other round. Fold the dough over the brie until the whole thing is covered.

Bake according to crescent directions, and serve with sliced apples. (Side note: if you splash lemon or lime juice on top of the apples, they wont turn brown as quickly) You might want to make two of these and keep one just for yourself... nomnomnom

*Sometimes, you can get really lucky and find the brie with the white already removed. This brie is a lot creamier, and can be mixed with the sugary nuts before being put in the crescent rolls. If I do find this kind of brie, my bake will end up oblong, and not round.
