Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Skillet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 12 mini phyllo pastry shells
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 ounces brie cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/3 cup pecans, toasted and chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange the phyllo shells on a baking sheet.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the apples soften slightly.
  • Place a few cubes of brie into each phyllo shell. Spoon the cooked apples evenly over the cheese.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the brie begins to melt.
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle each tartlet with caramel sauce. Sprinkle the toasted pecans on top before serving.

Notes

Toast the pecans in a dry skillet for a few minutes before chopping to bring out their flavor. These tartlets hold up best if assembled and baked just before leaving for work, though the apple mixture can be prepared a day ahead and reheated quickly. Skip extra toppings to keep the caramel and pecan contrast clear.
