8 steps · 45 min total

1. 01

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
2. 02

   Make Fig Jam

   Into a small saucepan, over low heat, add the figs, apple juice, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the figs are softened and the mixture has thickened a bit.
3. 03

   Puree Jam

   Using either an immersion blender or food processor, puree the jam until the larger pieces of fig are broken down. You're aiming for a relatively smooth consistency, but don't worry if the seeds are still visible. Allow the jam to cool completely before using.
4. 04

   Prepare Puff Pastry

   Unroll the two sheets of puff pastry onto a piece of parchment paper. Cut each sheet into 12 even squares.
5. 05

   Fill Bundles

   Place a piece of brie and a small spoonful of the cooled fig jam in the center of each puff pastry square.
6. 06

   Fold and Pinch

   Fold each corner of the pastry to the center, bringing them together over the filling. Don't worry if they don't all look exactly the same; just be sure to pinch the edges closed to seal the filling inside.
7. 07

   Arrange on Baking Sheet

   Carefully place the assembled bundles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
8. 08

   Bake Bundles

   Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
