1

Preheat oven to 375°F.
2

Soak dried cranberries in a small bowl of water for one minute so that they are not hard.
3

Lay thawed puff pastry sheet on a cookie sheet.
4

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in pecans and cinnamon and toast for about 3 minutes.
5

Place Brie in the middle of the puff pastry.
6

Place pecan mixture on top of Brie.
7

Place brown sugar on top of pecan mixture. The heat of the pecan mixture will help melt the brown sugar.
8

Drain cranberries. Place them on top of brown sugar.
9

Bring the edges of the puff pastry up and press them together making sure to seal the dough. If you have excess dough you can cut a leaf or decoration to add to the top of the Brie.
10

Using a pastry brush, brush the entire pastry with the beaten egg.
11

Bake for 15-20 minutes in the oven or until the pastry is a golden brown.
12

Serve with crackers or just by the slice.
