Maple Pecan Brie Bites are mini two-bite puff pastry cups filled with Brie and a sweet maple pecan sauce.  They are sure to be your new favorite holiday appetizer!

My very favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.  This year will be extra special because it will be the first time my husband and I will be hosting in our new home. There’s soooo much more room in our new house and when you have up to 30 dinner guests, space is key!

We’re incredibly lucky to be surrounded by so many loved ones for Thanksgiving, but it’s no easy feat to plan a holiday dinner for that many people.

I love to make all of the classics: turkey and stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and some apple and pumpkin pie for dessert.

I’m usually putting the final touches on our Thanksgiving feast as everyone arrives and, over the years, I’ve learned that appetizers are the perfect way to keep everyone from getting too restless while they’re waiting for the main event.

My first year hosting, I made way too many appetizers, something like four or five, and everyone was full before the turkey was even out of the oven!

I’ve learned that for our family, two appetizers is the magic number for Thanksgiving. I’ll usually like to make one dip and one finger food so there’s a little variety.

Baked Brie has always been a holiday favorite of ours. My sister-in-law always makes hers with a sweet jam and jalapenos and I like to make mine en croute with caramelized onions.

This year, I decided that I am putting a twist on our Brie appetizer and making mini two-bite puff pastry cups filled with Brie and a sweet maple pecan sauce. Not only are the flavors perfect for Thanksgiving, they are incredibly easy to make!

With just five simple ingredients, these Maple Pecan Brie Bites are my new favorite Thanksgiving appetizer. I know they will be yours, too!
