Baked Apple Brie Tart and Grinder’s Switch Winery Blondy Wine

 

There isn’t much better than a warm tart with sweet apples and gooey brie cheese to start or end your day. This delicious Baked Apple Brie Tart has layers of apples and brie piled on flaky puff pastry and topped with salty bacon and a drizzle of honey (we love our local Duck River Honey!).

This sweet treat pairs beautifully with our Blondy – a Muscadine and Cayuga blend that has a delightful peachy sweetness to it. The trick to pairing sweet wine is to make sure your wine is just as sweet or sweeter than your dish and our Blondy is the perfect match.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14 oz sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup fig preserves
  • ½ lb wedge of brie halved crosswise + sliced ¼”
  • 2 small apples cored + thinly sliced
  • olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 6 oz bacon diced
  • honey to drizzle
  • flaky sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface & roll it out until even, pressing slightly. Transfer the dough to the sheet pan. Spread the fig preserves evenly onto the dough, leaving a 1” border.
  • Arrange the brie and apples over the apple butter. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Top with the fresh thyme.
  • Fold the edges of dough over the apples and pinch the corners together. Brush the egg wash onto the border of the dough.
  • Bake the tart for about 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Meanwhile, heat a 10″ skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to render the bacon until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
  • Let the tart sit for 2-3 minutes to cool. Transfer it to a cutting board. Cut into 12 pieces. Serve immediately with the bacon, a drizzle of honey, and a pinch of flaky sea salt over top.
