→ Baklava Cups Ingredients

01 - 12 phyllo pastry shells

02 - 1 cup pecans, chopped

03 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar

04 - 1/3 cup brown sugar

05 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

06 - 1/4 cup heavy cream

07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

09 - Pinch of salt

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and place the phyllo shells on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

02 - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir until the sugars dissolve and the mixture thickens slightly.

03 - Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add the chopped pecans and mix until they are evenly coated with the caramel.

04 - Spoon the prepared pecan mixture evenly into each phyllo shell.

05 - Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the phyllo shells are golden brown.

06 - Allow the baklava cups to cool slightly before serving for best flavor and texture.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure that the caramel mixture is not overly hot when mixing with pecans to preserve their crunch.

02 - Avoid overbaking the phyllo shells to maintain a light and flaky texture.

03 - Serve slightly warm for optimal texture and flavor.
