Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For Brie and Cranberry Phyllo Cups
  • 1 package frozen mini phyllo cups (15 count)
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, cut into small cubes
  • ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
For Chocolate-Dipped Apple Slices
  • 3 large crisp apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup toffee bits

Method
 

Preparation for Brie Cups
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange the frozen phyllo cups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Place one small cube of brie cheese into each phyllo cup. The cheese should fill about half of the cup, leaving room for the cranberry topping.
  3. Top each brie-filled cup with approximately one teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes until phyllo cups are golden brown and the brie is melted and gooey.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Preparation for Chocolate-Dipped Apples
  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Slice each apple into 8 wedges, removing the core and seeds.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth.
  4. Dip each apple slice halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  5. Place the dipped apple on the baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with toffee bits.
  6. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.

Notes

These appetizers are best enjoyed fresh. Consider substituting ingredients or making variations based on preferences. Watch for overfilling or overbaking to ensure the best results.
