Ingredients Needed for Appetizer Brie Cranberry Pull Apart Bread

Refrigerated biscuits – the shortcut base that bakes up golden and fluffy

Brie cheese – creamy, melty, and the star of the show

Whole cranberry sauce – adds sweet-tart holiday flavor. You can also use leftover cranberry sauce if you have it.

Butter – melted and drizzled over for richness

How to Make Cranberry Brie Pull Apart Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 6-inch bundt pan with cooking spray.

Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces and roll into small balls. Then slice the cheese.

Place a layer of biscuit pieces, cranberry sauce, and brie cubes into the pan.

Repeat layering until the pan is full. Melt butter and drizzle over the top.

Bake 40 minutes, or until bread is golden and cooked through.

Let cool for a few minutes, then flip onto a serving plate.

Serve warm and enjoy.

Helpful Tips

• Cut the brie into small cubes so it melts evenly between biscuit layers.
• Don’t overfill with cranberry sauce, just enough to add flavor without making the bread soggy.
• Use a small bundt pan for the pull-apart effect, or make it in a muffin tin for mini versions.
• Let it cool a few minutes before flipping so it holds together better.
• Serve with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme sprinkled on top for extra holiday flair.

Substitutions and Variations

Swap brie for camembert or cream cheese if you prefer.

Try raspberry preserves or fig jam instead of cranberry sauce.

Sprinkle in chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.

Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cranberry sauce for a warm holiday twist.

How to Store

Keep the leftover cranberry brie bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
