Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Phyllo pastry cups
- 1 cup Cranberries
- 0.5 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange the phyllo pastry cups on a baking sheet.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, pineapple chunks, granulated sugar, and water.
Stir the mixture and cook until the cranberries begin to pop and the pineapple softens, about 6-8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the orange zest and ground cinnamon. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Spoon the cranberry-pineapple mixture into each phyllo cup, filling them generously.
If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top of each cup for added crunch and flavor.
Bake the filled phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the filling is warmed through.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
