Why I Love This Recipe

This is one of those recipes that looks impressive but couldn’t be easier to make. The buttery puff pastry, creamy brie, sweet fig jam, and crisp apples are such a good combination, and the fresh thyme ties everything together. Whether you’re serving it for brunch, setting it out as a holiday appetizer, or bringing it to a gathering, it’s always one of the first things people ask about.

Enjoying The Leftovers

This tart is best enjoyed the day it’s made while the pastry is crisp, but leftovers are still delicious. I like warming up a slice the next day and serving it with a simple salad for lunch.

Storing

Store any leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The puff pastry will soften as it sits, but the flavors stay just as delicious.

Reheating

Warm the tart in a 350°F oven or air fryer for a few minutes until the pastry is crisp again and the brie is soft. I wouldn’t recommend microwaving it, as the pastry can become soggy.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉.
  • Lightly flour the counter. Place the thawed puff pastry sheet on the counter and roll until smooth and even. You don’t have to roll it out too much; I did it enough to make it a slightly larger rectangle. If it sticks while you try to roll it out, sprinkle some flour on the puff pastry and resume rolling. Carefully transfer the puff pastry to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Add a few scoops of fig jam and spread evenly across the bottom, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around all the edges.
  • Next, place an even layer of thinly sliced apple on top of the fig jam, followed by an even layer of brie cheese.
  • Gently fold all sides of the pastry in, pinching at each corner.
  • Beat the egg and brush it over the edges of the puff pastry. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.
  • Top with fresh thyme and an optional drizzle of honey. Cut into pieces of whatever size you desire, and enjoy!
