I’m using one of my favorite shortcut ingredients to make this much loved cranberry brie pull apart loaf!

we all need a quick and easy starter during the holidays!

Whether you’re hosting an intimate Thanksgiving or a big holiday party you will want to include this cranberry brie loaf in your rotation. It looks impressive, tastes delicious and is so, so easy.

what’s in it?

You just need five (!!) simple ingredients to pull this together:

cranberries
lemon juice
granulated sugar
refrigerated biscuit dough
Brie cheese

how do you make this recipe?

Also simple! Cook down the cranberries with the lemon juice, sugar and water, till it thickens and is still a little chunky (kind of like a quick-cook cranberry sauce).

You’ll then layer it on the biscuits, along with the Brie, and bake it all in a standard loaf pan. Once baked, put out some plates and forks and let your guests have at it!

can you prepare this pull apart bread in advance?

Yes and no. I typically don’t recommend letting the biscuit dough sit once the can is opened. I’m not sure if there’s anything to back this up but I always get to work once I get them out of the can. That said, the cranberry filling can be prepared up to a week ahead and kept covered in the fridge, and you can dice the Brie and keep it in the fridge in a small bowl, to get a head start on prep. Assembly takes so little time that you can easily do it right before you’re ready to serve.

This is one of my all time favorite recipes – the warm dough, cheesy Brie and sweet-tart cranberries all come together to create a real crowd pleaser that you will love to pieces!

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 2 cups diced Brie, about 1/2 pound

Instructions
 

  • Cook the cranberries, lemon juice, sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, till the fruit is broken down but still chunky. Let cool slightly. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Separate the biscuit dough and slice each biscuit in half, creating a total of 16 "rounds". Divide the cranberry relish evenly among 15 of the rounds and top with the Brie. Create 3 stacks of 4 rounds and 1 stack of 3 rounds, placing the plain round on top of the stack of 3. Place the stack of 3 with the plain round into your pan first, followed by the 3 stacks of 4. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, or till golden brown. Serve immediately.

    Can I do this without the parchment paper and just use spray?

    • sherisilver on December 8, 2025 at 4:40 pm

      I’m sure that would be fine!
