These apple-and-Brie puff pastries take the fuss out of making a party-worthy appetizer by layering the ingredients upside down, molding the puff pastry over the filling, then inverting them after they're done baking. A sprinkle or sprig of fresh thyme completes the look of this easy appetizer. Brown mustard is tangy and slightly sweet, but whole-grain mustard will work well too.

Ingredients

6 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
1 large Honeycrisp apple or other sweet apple, cut into 24 thin slices
12 thin slices Brie cheese, divided (2.5 ounces)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed and cut into 6 equal pieces
1 large egg, beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread 1 teaspoon mustard in each of 6 evenly spaced areas on the baking sheet. Top each smear of mustard with 4 shingled apple slices. Top each apple pile with 2 slices Brie; sprinkle each pile with thyme. Roll out puff pastry pieces to fit over the filling, (about 4-inch squares). Press the puff pastry pieces around each filling mound; the edges should be touching the parchment. Brush the tops with egg.
Bake until nicely browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Invert the pastries and garnish with thyme, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
