Flaky pie crust filled with melty brie, cranberry sauce, and pecans make these Cranberry Brie mini pies a perfect and EASY holiday treat.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I live my life running late, at the last minute, and on the fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t ask to be this way, and I can’t say it’s something I’m particularly proud of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However–<\/em> they do say that necessity is the mother of invention…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when you consistently find yourself in emergencies as a result of poor planning, you get pretty adept at finding creative solutions. Air-go, I’ve made a bit of an art of doing things  “at the last minute.” Not the least of which: food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of my go-to dishes that are super easy to pull off are Brownie Batter Dip<\/a> and Apple Salad<\/a>. They’re both amazing, and, if you like to live your life on the edge (of a schedule) like me, they’re awesome recipes to keep in your stash!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another one of my favorites that I like to keep on hand for entertaining on-the-fly: brie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By far and away, I think Brie is one of the most useful ingredients to keep on hand. It has a lengthy (refrigerated) shelf life, works in both sweet and savory dishes, and looks fancy but tastes like comfort food. It’s amazing on crackers<\/a>, salads, in pie<\/a>, on pizza<\/a>, for dipping and spreading<\/a>, and wrapped up in your favorite pastry<\/a>. AND it’s almost always<\/em> super quick and easy to whip up into some sort of dazzling, delicious presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n

Today, I’m filling a mini pie crust with yummy seasonal flavors (cranberry and pecans, specifically) and baking them together with brie cheese for a warm, gooey, deliciously EASY appetizer or even dessert that people will go nuts for!<\/p>\n\n\n
