This recipe was inspired by a spicy English pie with dried fruits: a melting wheel of Brie cheese is heaped with a mixture of dried apricots and chopped pistachios, seasoned with allspice, while a touch of apple cider vinegar helps balance the sweetness. The cheese is baked in a pie dough bag until golden brown. You can decorate the pie with scraps of pastry, adhering them to the pie crust with a beaten egg.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Combine the dried apricots, apple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, allspice, a pinch of salt, and some freshly ground black pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the apricots have plumped up and absorbed the liquid, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool; stir in the pistachios.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Turn the pie dough out onto a clean work surface; carefully roll out the outer 2 inches of the circle to make the edges slightly thinner. Place the Brie cheese in the center of the dough and top with the fruit and nut mixture. Trim about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the edge of the dough all the way around. Brush the edge with beaten egg.
- Fold the edges of the dough up over the cheese, folding and pleating the sides as needed; pinch the dough together to seal. Transfer the wrapped cheese to a baking sheet and brush with the remaining beaten egg. Freeze for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Let cool for at least 20 minutes. Slice and serve with apple and/or pear slices.
