Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Place phyllo sheets on a damp towel to stay pliable.

  2. Step 2

    Peel, core, and dice the apples into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

  3. Step 3

    Mix cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Brush one phyllo sheet lightly with melted butter. Layer 2 more buttered sheets on top.

  5. Step 5

    Cut the stacked phyllo into 4 squares. Press each into a muffin cup, creating a shell.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets to fill all 12 muffin cups.

  7. Step 7

    Toss apples with cinnamon mixture. Divide evenly among phyllo cups.

  8. Step 8

    Bake for 18–20 minutes until phyllo is golden and apples are tender.

  9. Step 9

    Cool bites in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving plate.

  10. Step 10

    Drizzle each bite with caramel sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature.
