Would you Eat Delectable Pecan Caramel Baklava Cups? 🥮🥜🍯

Ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

- 2 cups pecans, finely chopped

- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 1 package phyllo dough, thawed

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

For the Caramel Sauce:

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to prepare for baking.

2. Cut the thawed phyllo dough into squares that will fit into the muffin tin cups. Layer 3 to 4 squares in each cup, brushing each layer generously with the melted butter.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the finely chopped pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

4. Spoon a generous amount of the pecan mixture into each phyllo cup, ensuring each cup is filled.

5. Bake the cups in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden and crispy.

6. While the baklava cups are baking, prepare the caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat until it turns a golden brown color.

7. Add the remaining unsalted butter to the melted sugar and stir until completely melted and combined.

8. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuously stirring until the mixture is smooth and fully blended. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

9. Once the baklava cups are out of the oven, drizzle the delicious caramel sauce over each cup generously.

10. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors of pecan and caramel!
