How to make Air Fryer Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce

Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce

Step 1: Prepare the cranberries

Rinse cranberries and pick through to remove any stems and soft, discolored, or wrinkled berries.

Step 2: Create the sauce

Add syrup, orange zest, orange juice, and cranberries to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.

Close the lid and cook the berries at high pressure for 1 minute, plus 7 minutes natural release. Then do a quick release of the remaining pressure and open the lid carefully.

Step 3: Crush the cranberries

Mash some of the berries with a spoon, potato masher, or immersion blender, if desired. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar. If needed, add 1 more tablespoon of sugar.

Baked Cranberry Brie

Step 1: Prepare the puff pastry

Layout the puff pastry dough on air fryer parchment paper and then place the brie on the puff pastry in the center.

Be sure to remove a little of the rind from the top of the brie.

Step 2: Top the brie cheese

Add cranberry sauce to the top of the brie. You will likely not add all of the cranberry sauce to the brie.

Step 3: Prepare the dough

Fold the corners of the pastry over the brie. Then, brush the pastry with the egg wash.

Step 4: Bake the brie

Once the brie has been covered in place in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 320 degrees F or 160 degrees C for 15-17 minutes, or until the crust is browned and cheese is melty.
