Pecan Caramel Baklava Cups

Print Recipe

These Pecan Caramel Baklava Cups combine the classic flavors of baklava with the rich sweetness of caramel, all in a convenient bite-sized portion. Crispy phyllo shells are filled with a buttery pecan mixture and topped with caramel sauce for a decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 15 mini phyllo pastry shells
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 15 tsp caramel sauce (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the mini phyllo shells on a baking sheet.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the chopped pecans, sugar, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Spoon the pecan mixture evenly into each phyllo shell, filling them about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the shells are golden and the filling is bubbly.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Top each cup with a teaspoon of caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free phyllo shells. Substitute butter with a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free option. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
