Add the toasted walnuts on top of the brie cheese.

Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon over the walnuts.

Prepare the puff pastry by rolling it out with flour using a rolling pin.

Place the brie with toppings in the center of the puff pastry.

Brush the edges of the pastry with a beaten egg for moisture.

Gather the pastry around the brie to form a 'beggars purse' and secure with twine.

Brush the entire pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a shiny finish.

Transfer the wrapped brie to the AirFryer basket using a spatula.

Cook in the AirFryer for 10 minutes.
