Ingredients
1 TBS Unsalted Butter
3 Whole Honeycrisp Apples peeled, cored and small diced
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon plus more for garnish
1/8 tsp Kosher Salt
1/8 tsp Ground Nutmeg
¼ Cup Dark Brown Sugar packed
1/3 Cup Bourbon
1 tsp Lemon Juice
3 TBS Cornstarch
1/3 Cup Water
2 Boxes Mini Phyllo Shells (30 shells)
Optional: Whipped Cream to taste
Optional: Salted Caramel Sauce to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add diced apples, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Cook until apples begin to soften.
- Pour in bourbon and simmer 2–3 minutes to cook off alcohol.
- Stir in lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water together. Stir into apple mixture until thickened and glossy.
- Remove filling from heat and let cool slightly.
- Spoon apple mixture into mini phyllo shells, filling each generously.
- Bake filled shells at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until warmed and crisp.
- Garnish with whipped cream, salted caramel, and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
Notes
Use Granny Smith apples for a more tart filling.
Swap bourbon with apple cider for a kid-friendly version.
Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
Cool filling before spooning into shells to prevent sogginess.
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days and reheat in the oven.
