Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface. Roll to 14" square and cut off corners to make circular (14" in diameter). Cut Brie round in half horizontally and place ½ of Brie in the center of the pastry sheet and top it with the Spiced Apple Topping mixture. Cover with remaining ½ of Brie round, cut side down. Brush edges of circle with egg mixture.

Fold two opposite sides of pastry over cheese. Trim other two sides to 2" from edge of cheese. Fold these two sides onto the round. Press edges to seal. Place seam-side down on baking sheet and decorate top with pastry scraps, if desired. Brush with egg mixture.
