How to Make Apple Brie Braid With Almonds
- Thaw dough in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced.
- Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Cook for 5 minutes, or until apples are softened but still hold their shape.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sliced almonds.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle.
- Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the apple mixture lengthwise down the center of the dough.
- Remove rind from 4 ounces of brie cheese and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Arrange the brie cubes on top of the apple mixture.
- Make diagonal cuts, 1 1/2 inches apart, on opposite sides of the filling, stopping 1/2 inch from the filling.
- Fold strips alternately over the filling from each side, overlapping at an angle.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
- Cut in 1 tablespoon cold butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the braid.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the braid is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
