This is an old Cooking Light recipe I first made in 2000 and it's a good one.

APPLE-BRIE BRAID WITH ALMONDS
Recipe By :Cooking Light Magazine. December 1999. Page: 178.
1 loaf (1-pound) frozen white bread dough
2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, divided
4 cups finely chopped peeled Granny Smith apple
(about 1-1/4 pounds)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar, divided
3 tablespoons chopped slivered almonds
Cooking spray
4 ounces Brie cheese
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
Directions.
If Brie isn't the cheese for you, substitute your favorite
kind. Cheddar, smoked gouda, or Swiss also would be nice.
1. Thaw dough in refrigerator 12 hours.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat. Add apples; saute 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup
brown sugar; cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in
almonds.
3. Roll dough into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle on a lightly
floured surface. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking
spray. Spread apple mixture lengthwise down center of dough.
Remove rind from cheese; cube. Arrange cheese on top of apple
mixture. Make diagonal cuts, 1-1/2 inches apart, on opposite
sides of filling to within 1/2 inch of filling. Fold strips
alternately over filling from each side, overlapping at an
angle. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free
from drafts 1-1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
5. Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and flour in a medium bowl; cut
in 1 tablespoon butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until
combined. Sprinkle over top of loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for
30 minutes or until golden. Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 slice).
