Ingredients
  

  • 9 tablespoon salted butter melted with herbs for flavor
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves aromatic herb accent
  • 9 ounces phyllo dough, thawed thin layered pastry sheets
  • 10–13 ounces brie cheese, rind removed creamy melting cheese
  • 5 small apples, thinly sliced sweet-tart fruit
  • 2 ½ tablespoon brown sugar adds light caramel sweetness
  • Honey, for drizzling finishing sweetness
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping balances flavors

Equipment

  • 1 Large baking sheet Sturdy with low sides so the phyllo crisps evenly
  • 1 Pastry brush Ideal for brushing thyme butter between phyllo layers; silicone cleans easily
  • 2–3 Damp towels Keep unused phyllo sheets covered to prevent drying and cracking
  • 1 Sharp knife or mandoline Ensures thin, uniform apple slices
  • 1 Small skillet For warming butter with fresh thyme

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. Warm the butter with thyme in a small pan until melted, then transfer it to a heatproof dish.
  3. Brush a light coat of the thyme butter onto the lined baking sheet, then unroll the phyllo and cover unused sheets with a damp towel.
  4. Place one sheet on the baking sheet, brush with butter, then continue layering each sheet at a slight angle and brushing lightly, repeating until all sheets are used.
  5. Spread or scatter the brie over the center, leaving a wide border around the edges.
  6. Toss the apple slices with brown sugar and arrange them neatly over the brie.
  7. Fold the phyllo edges inward to frame the apples and coat the border with remaining thyme butter.
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes until crisp and deeply golden.
  9. Finish with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of sea salt, and extra thyme if desired, then slice and serve warm.
