Cooking Steps
Start Prep
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Zest orange until you have about ½ tsp zest. Halve orange. Roughly chop pistachios. Slice each baguette crosswise into eight rounds.
Toast Crostini
• Spread baguette slices out on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast on top rack until golden brown, 5-10 minutes.
Make Orange-Cranberry Sauce
• While crostini toast, in a small pot, combine jam, dried cranberries, ½ tsp rosemary, and ¼ cup water. Heat pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and liquid has slightly reduced, 4-5 minutes. TIP: Keep a close eye on the sauce to avoid burning. Lower heat if necessary. • Remove from heat; stir in orange zest and juice from half the orange.
Wrap Brie
• Unroll crescent rolls on a floured work surface; separate into two rectangles, pinching any diagonal seams together (you should have two 4-by-8 inch rectangles). • Place crescent roll rectangles about an inch apart on a second baking sheet; place one piece of brie in the center of each rectangle. Fold up long sides of rectangle around brie to cover; press edges in center. Fold excess dough along sides underneath brie and pinch to seal (seal should be on bottom of baking sheet).
Bake Brie & Finish Prep
• Bake wrapped brie on top rack until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. • While brie bakes, halve and core apples; thinly slice into half-moons.
Serve
• Divide baked brie between two serving plates (or arrange on a single platter!); top with orange-cranberry sauce and pistachios. Arrange apples and crostini around brie and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: The orange-cranberry sauce was a hit, perfectly complementing the brie. Some found the crescent roll dough too salty.
- Ease of prep: Simple to make, though wrapping the brie in dough was tricky for some. Clear photos would help with assembly.
- Suggestions: Consider using all the dough to fully wrap the brie. Try baking at a higher temperature to brown pastry without over-melting cheese.
- Portions: Many loved it as a party appetizer, with plenty to go around. Some wished for more cranberry jam.
- Pairings: The apple slices weren't necessary for everyone; double the crostini instead for a crunchier option.
