Camembert Apricot Appetizer is a delicious combination of two distinct flavors, with the camembert cheese providing the rich and creamy taste and the apricot jam offering the sweet and sticky texture. This appetizer is perfect for parties or gatherings as it is quick and easy to make, yet still impressive to look at. Camembert Apricot Appetizer can be served with crackers, sliced baguette, and a glass of wine for an elegant touch. While it's perfect for all year round, it's especially great during the holidays as a simple appetizer that everyone will love.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	Cut a circle into the top of the camembert cheese, leaving the white on, and place it in a small oven-safe dish.
3.	Spread the apricot jam on top of the cheese.
4.	Layer four sheets of phyllo pastry on top of one another and brush with melted butter.
5.	Cut the pastry into a circle big enough to cover the top of the cheese.
6.	Place the pastry circle on top of the cheese and jam, tucking it in around the edges.
7.	Brush the pastry with melted butter.
8.	Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9.	Serve immediately with crackers or sliced baguette.
