Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, chopped pecans, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and orange zest (if using). Stir until blended.
  3. Roll out the sheet of puff pastry until it is smooth and flat, large enough to envelop the Brie.
  4. Place the Brie cheese in the center of the puff pastry. Spoon the cranberry-pecan mixture over the top.
  5. Fold the puff pastry over the Brie and seal any openings by pinching the seams.
  6. Transfer the wrapped Brie seam-side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Beat the egg to create an egg wash and coat the surface of the puff pastry.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm with crackers or bread.
