BAKED BRIE WITH DRIED APRICOTS AND PISTACHIOS
Inspired by mincemeat, the dried fruit and nut mixture piled on the brie in this recipe includes warm spices like allspice and pepper, while a bit of vinegar keeps the sweetness in check. Prepared pie dough keeps it all wrapped together and bakes up golden brown and flaky. If you are feeling artistic, save your pie dough scraps and add some decorations to your wrapped brie using the egg wash to secure them.

Steps:
- Combine the dried apricots, apple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, allspice, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the apricots are plump and all the liquid has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool; stir in the pistachios.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pie dough on a clean surface; gently roll out the outer 2 inches of the dough to make the edges slightly thinner. Put the brie in the center of the dough and top with the fruit-and-nut mixture. Trim about 1 inch off the edge of the dough, all the way around. Brush the edge with some of the beaten egg. Pull the dough up and over the cheese to meet in the middle, folding and pleating as needed; pinch the dough at the top to seal. Transfer the wrapped cheese to the baking sheet and brush with the remaining beaten egg. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the cheese is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve with apple and/or pear slices.

Steps:
- Lay half of the crescent rolls in the pie dish.Spread them out a bit. Put 2 TBS. of apricot preserves and spread that all around. Put the chunk of brie on top of that and some more preserves all over the brie. Crumble some pecans on top of that and than encase the brie with the rest of the crescent rolls. Coat the top of the crescent rolls with a thin layer of preserves and top with a handfull of pecans. Press them into the rolls a little bit. Put in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 30 minutes. Keep on checking to make sure the rolls don't burn, but make sure that the brie has melted inside. If you see the top browning too much just put a piece of tin foil on top and secure it so it doesn't burn. Put 2 spoons in so your company can either put some on a plate and eat it or serve with crackers and enjoy!
Tips:
- For the best results, use ripe, juicy apricots. If your apricots are not ripe, you can roast them in the oven for a few minutes to soften them up.
- If you don't have any apricot preserves, you can use another type of fruit preserves, such as peach or orange marmalade.
- You can add a bit of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the dip for extra crunch.
- If you want a sweeter dip, you can add a little bit of honey or maple syrup.
- Serve the dip with crackers, bread, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Apricot Brie Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and sweet, with a hint of tartness from the apricots. This dip is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
