Preparation

Step 1

Stir together the cherries and honey in a sauce pan over medium heat until the juices come out of the fruit. Bring the mixture to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes or until it thickens. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Open the can of crescent rolls. Separate the dough into 4 rectangles and press the seams together. Cut each rectangle into 2 squares.
Slice the Brie into 8 even slices. Place one slice on each crescent roll rectangle. Top with a spoonful of cherry filling. Make sure to reserve half the filling. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling and press the seams together.
Whisk together the egg and water. Brush over the dough pockets. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Serve immediately with the reserved filling. Makes 8 pockets. Refrigerate any remaining bites in a sealed container or bag. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
