Cranberry Brie Pull Apart Bread is a deliciously decadent appetizer featuring a round loaf of sourdough bread filled with melted brie cheese, tart dried cranberries, sweet brown sugar, and crunchy pecans. Perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy nights in, this easy-to-make recipe combines gooey cheese with sweet and nutty flavors for an irresistible treat that’s as fun to share as it is to eat.

Ingredients

Bread and Cheese

  • 1 round loaf sourdough bread
  • 1 (16 ounce) wheel of brie, cubed

Fillings and Toppings

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup raw pecans, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the sourdough bread into a grid pattern, slicing about three-quarters through the loaf both horizontally and vertically. Be sure not to cut all the way through so the bread stays intact.
  2. Add the Butter and Brown Sugar: Melt the butter and mix it with the brown sugar. Gently brush or drizzle this mixture into the cuts of the bread to infuse sweetness and moisture throughout.
  3. Stuff with Brie, Cranberries, and Pecans: Insert the cubed brie, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans into the crevices of the bread, pushing them down slightly so they are nestled inside the cuts.
  4. Bake the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the brie has melted and the bread is crisp on the edges.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let it cool just slightly before serving. Pull apart the bread by hand and enjoy the gooey, sweet, and savory bites.

Notes

  • Use a serrated bread knife to cut the loaf easily without crushing it.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • If fresh cranberries are available, you can rehydrate them slightly or use them in place of dried cranberries.
  • Serve this bread warm for the best gooey texture and flavor.
  • Double the recipe for larger gatherings to ensure everyone gets a share.
