Equipment

Kitchen twine

Ingredients

1 package refrigerated puff pastry (I like the Jus-Rol brand)
1/4 cup jam, pumpkin butter or apple butter
10 .9 oz individual brie bites (or 10 oz brie, cut into small circles)
1 large egg or egg yolk, beaten
cinnamon sticks, for the stems optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Unwrap puff pastry and cut into roughly 3x3" squares (about 12 squares total, you'll have a couple extra squares). Dollop a 1/2 teaspoon of jam in the center of each square. Place a round of brie on top of the jam and fold over the corners of the pastry to enclose the brie, pinching to seal.
Use 10 separate lengths of kitchen twine to wrap each puff pastry pocket about four times (my lengths were ~18" long). Knot the twine on the seam side and trim any loose ends. Place brie bites on the prepared baking sheet and use a pastry brush to brush the top of each pocket with egg.
Bake the pockets, seam side down for 30 minutes, or until starting to turn golden brown. A little brie or jam may leak out around the bottom, but that's okay! Top each round with a little piece of a cinnamon stick or pretzel stick for a "stem" if desired. Enjoy!
