Author Notes
These crescents are a great way to turn leftovers into a light meal or snack. Homemade Date-Berry sauce gives these Apple-Brie bites a rich and mildly tart bite. —Lauren Bradford
Ingredients
-
30 pieces
Dates, pitted and chopped small
-
12 ounces
Whole cranberries (1 bag)
-
1/2 cup
Brewed black, chai, or pumpkin spiced tea
-
1
Cinnamon stick
-
2
Star Anise
-
1 tablespoon
Vanilla extract
-
1
Tube Crescent rolls of choice
-
8
Slices Brie
-
1/4 cup
Blueberries
-
1
Granny Smith apple, sliced thin
Directions
-
Bring the cranberries, dates, vanilla, tea and spices to a boil, then simmer until the cranberries have burst and the dates are softened, and the mixture thickens slightly.
-
Remove the cinnamon and star anise, and cool. Then, pulse the mixture in a food processor.
-
Next, line a sheet pan with parchment, pop the crescent roll tube and lay out the pieces onto the sheet pan.
-
Lay one to two slices of apple on each crescent, depending on the thickness. Divide the Brie and blueberries among the 8 crescent pieces.
-
Place 2 tablespoons of the date-cranberry mixture into each crescent, then roll each crescent. I usually roast the rest of the apple slices for a snack, they usually fit on the same sheet pan.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, rotate once and watch carefully as you might need to add or decrease the time to melt the Brie and get a golden color on the rolls. Enjoy!
