INGREDIENT NOTES:
VEGAN BRIE CHEESE:
- It gives your recipe a creamy feeling. You may use cashew-based soft cheese or any other meltable vegan cheese as another option.
APPLES:
- Apples are the basic component of your recipe. We use apples to add a sweet taste, and they also become soft when we cook them. You may utilize pears as an alternative.
OLIVE OIL:
- It helps your apples to cook and also adds a mild taste. We may eliminate the olive oil with vegan butter.
MAPLE SYRUP:
- You use maple syrup to give your recipe a natural sweet flavor, and it also helps the apple to caramelize. We may use agave syrup instead.
BROWN SUGAR:
- Brown sugar improves the caramel flavor in your recipe. Also, we may use white sugar instead, but it will have a light taste.
THYME:
- Adding thyme will add a little herb taste and will maintain the sweet flavor in your recipe. You may also use dried thyme or rosemary as an alternative.
CINNAMON:
- Cinnamon improves the apple taste in your meal and includes warmth. Also, we can utilize nutmeg instead.
VEGAN PUFF PASTRY:
- We use puff pastry to add a golden, flaky outer layer to your recipe. Also, it improves the texture and filling of your recipe.
VEGAN MILK:
- You will utilize vegan milk to brush the pastry, so it gets a golden color when you bake it.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Heat your oven to 180°C and then warm olive oil in a pan on medium flame.
- Put sliced apples in olive oil and cook for five minutes to make them softer.
- Then, include cinnamon, maple syrup, thyme, brown sugar, and salt in the pan.
- Now stir the ingredients and cook for 7minutes till the apples get caramelized.
- We will roll the puff pastry on a shelf and put the vegan brie in the middle.
- Also, place a small amount of caramelized apples on the top of your brie.
- Now fold the pastry around the brie and close the corners.
- Put the closed side of the puff pastry downwards on the dish and use vegan milk for brushing the top.
- Then, we will bake the puff pastry for 20 minutes till it gets a golden brown color.
- After baking, cool your meal for some minutes and then add the leftover caramelized apples on top.

TIPS:
- You need to use firm apples so they get a proper shape after baking.
