Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Prepare ingredients. Remove crescents from the can and separate into individual triangles. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put the bowl you will be using for dip into the center. 
  • Make a shingle pattern circle with the crescent triangles surrounding the bowl. It should look like a sunburst pattern. Remove the bowl. 
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and whisk until combined. Cook for 5 minutes to lightly brown the butter. Remove from heat, stir in the maple extract and pineapple juice.
  • Add sliced brie, dried cranberries, crushed pineapple, and chopped pecans into a medium mixing bowl. Add 2 Tablespoons of the melted butter and stir until well combined.
  • Spoon mixture over the dough ½ inch from the center. Fold dough over the cheese towards the center. Tuck the ends under the center. 
  • Brush the top of the crescents with remaining butter.  
  • Place into the oven on the center rack and bake for 35 minutes.  

Notes

Keep dough chilled: Cold dough is easier to shape and handle.
Drain pineapple well: Too much liquid can make the dough soggy.
Bake on parchment: This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
