Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Unroll the refrigerated crescent rolls and separate the dough into 2 sections. Press each section into a 6-inch square, making sure to firmly press the perforations together to seal.

Position the round Brie cheese in the center of the first dough square. Layer the thinly sliced apple pieces over the Brie, and generously sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the apples for an added sweetness.

Carefully pull up the sides of the bottom dough square to enclose the Brie, apples, and brown sugar. Place the second dough square on top and press the edges together to seal completely, ensuring no filling escapes.

Brush the surface of the dough with the beaten egg to create a beautiful golden-brown finish during baking. Transfer the wrapped Brie to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
