Ingredients:

  • 1 package phyllo pastry cups
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when you’re done preparing the baklava cups.
  2. Prepare the Pecan Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Fill the Phyllo Cups: Place the phyllo pastry cups on a baking sheet. Spoon the pecan mixture into each cup, filling them nearly to the top with the delicious nutty filling.
  4. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the baklava cups for 10-12 minutes, or until the phyllo cups turn golden brown and the pecan mixture starts bubbling with caramelized goodness.
  5. Prepare the Caramel Sauce: While the baklava cups are baking, warm the caramel sauce with honey and vanilla in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and fluid, ready to drizzle over the baked cups.
  6. Drizzle with Caramel: Once the baklava cups are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle the warm caramel-honey mixture over each cup, ensuring they are generously coated with the luscious sauce.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the baklava cups to cool slightly before serving, as the caramel sauce will be hot. Serve them warm for the perfect melt-in-your-mouth experience!
