1 tablespoon butter melted, pinch of cinnamon for garnish
instructions: preheat oven to 350F. place crescent roll dough on a cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. place brie in the middle of the dough. top brie with apple pie filling, pecans, and caramel. take the ends of the dough fold to cover the brie. pinch the dough together to seal. don’t worry if it’s not perfect. brush top of dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon. bake for 20 minutes or until the crescent dough has browned and is cooked through. remove and serve with apples, crackers, graham crackers, or toasted bread.
good clean rosé will pair with everything you serve, including turkey, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole (the kind topped with marshmallows). it also goes great with pizza, if thanksgiving just isn’t your thing.
dry and versatile, good clean white is a perfect balance of fresh floral aromas and citrus flavors. it’s a memorable party guest because it’s easy drinking, interesting, high quality wine that’s easy on the wallet and pairs perfectly with turkey and sweet potatoes.Â
crowd friendly, affordable, versatile good clean red pairs well with turkey, gravy, sauces, and roasted vegetables. we are going to pair it with:

whisk in the chili sauce, orange juice and brown sugar; stir until mostly smooth. place the meatballs in a slow cooker and pour the sauce over them. cook for 4 hours on low then serve, topped with parsley if desired.
toasting to friends, family, and health is more important than ever this year and we are going to finish this with sparkling rosé and dessert. wine is a memorable and refreshing complement to pumpkin pie. light and crisp good clean spumante rosé balances the sweet and spice.

good on special occasions, like anniversaries or tuesday nights. refreshing bubbles offer a gentle tingle between morsels and secrets. lighter than a proposal, fuller than a fling. clean with minimal-intervention, produced naturally in small batches in the emilia-romagna region of italy. it’s bubbly like the people who live there and you, after a glass or several.
wine that sparkles on your tongue and brings cheer(s) to every season. flowery notes of hawthorne, white fruits, and green apple elevate it from bottle to bouquet, to give to loved ones, or keep for yourself.
