These Pecan Caramel Baklava Cups are a bite-sized twist on the classic Middle Eastern dessert. With layers of flaky phyllo dough, a sweet and nutty pecan filling, and a drizzle of caramel and honey, they’re perfect for parties and special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1 package of phyllo dough
  • 1 cup of chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup of melted butter
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 cup of honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. Cut the phyllo dough into squares that will fit into the muffin tin cups.
  3. Layer the phyllo dough squares in each muffin cup, brushing each layer with melted butter.
  4. In a bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  5. Spoon the pecan mixture into each phyllo dough cup, filling them about halfway.
  6. Drizzle some honey and caramel over the pecan mixture in each cup.
  7. Top each cup with another layer of phyllo dough and brush with melted butter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo dough is golden brown.
  9. Let the baklava cups cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth while working to prevent it from drying out.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or pistachios if preferred.
  • These can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
