While the oven preheats, add the butter to a saute pan over medium-low heat. Once melted, add in the sliced almonds and toast, stirring occasionally until fragrant and browned, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and add to a small bowl lined with paper towels. Season with salt and set aside.
Add the phyllo shells to a baking sheet. Slice up the brie into pieces that will fit in the cups and add to each cup.
When your oven is preheated, add the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove and top with approximately 1/4 teaspoon cranberry sauce to each cup.
