Mama Said There'd Be Days Like These...

So today is one of those days where I'd much rather be curled up in my bathtub with a glass of wine, a good book and and a cigarette tightly tucked into a diamond covered cigarette holder (a girl can dream). But one of my favorite things for girly days is BRIE, love it, love it, can't get enough of it. I found this recipe a while back and I highly recommend it.

Apricot Brie Bake

Ingredients:

Jar of Apricot Jelly
A roll of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
A circle of Brie (I highly recommend Genuardi's Primo Taglio, but alas... Joan of Arc is good as well)
4 apples
Grapes
2 boxes of crackers (veggie crackers are the best)

You will need:
A pie dish

Instructions:
1.) Go to the liquor store, you will need a bottle of red wine, oh and heat the oven to 350
2.) Crack open the Crescent Roll cover and unroll all the Crescents Rolls making sure to separate all the funky triangles
3.) Lay down 3-4 Crescent Triangles on the bottom of the pie dish, leaving room to cover the edges of the brie from underneath
4.) Take the brie and lather it with the Apricot Jelly (envision that the Brie is Johnny Depp and the jelly is... well, that's up your own imagination)
5.) Lay the Lathered Brie down on the Crescent Triangles in the pie dish.
6.) Cover the Lathered Brie with 2-3 more Crescent Triangles
7.) Pull the Crescent Triangles from underneath to fill the seams
8.) Lightly spread a thin layer of Apricot Jelly on the now cozy Brie and then place in the oven
9.) Cut the apples up, pull the crackers out, arrange as needed
10.) Once the Crescent rolls brown and you can stick a knife through and have it covered with mushy yummy Brie, you can pull it out of the oven. Dip your apples or crackers in, drink some red wine and enjoy.

Note: This was one of my favorites before I went to parties or had a live in bf, so if you're on your own and are craving this yummy treat, just take one crescent roll and wrap it around a chunk of brie... make sure to LATHER it up baby ;-)
