Oh hey fall.
I forgot how much I love your produce.
Carrots? Uh huh.
Squash? Yes.
Apples? My favorite of all.
Apples are actually my number one favorite food on this earth. Nothing (NOTHING) beats a good honeycrisp eaten mid-September.
Put one of those perfect honeycrisps into a miniature handheld pie, and you’ve got a dessert (or, let’s be honest…a breakfast) that has no rival.
Sorry, cake. I’ve got to say it…
Yes, I want apple pie.
Mini Phyllo Apple Pies
PRINT Recipe
makes 6
- 9 sheets of frozen phyllo dough (I used 9”x14” sheets), thawed
- cooking spray
- 1 apple, thinly sliced
- 1/8 C brown sugar
- 1 T cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
Layer three sheets of phyllo dough on top of one anther, spraying cooking spray between each sheet. Cut each stack in half (I used a pizza cutter) and press into a muffin tin.
Fill each raw phyllo cup with apples and top with 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar filling.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. (Top with whip or ice cream and enjoy!)


do you know that i don’t think i’ve ever had a honeycrisp apple??
blasphemy, right?
Get.On.It.
Excellent!!! I am such an apple girl. Pink ladies all the way!
Favorite post ever! So beautifully written (and witty) and those pictures.
can food be precious? because these are.
Oh, I totally agree! Apples are my FAVORITE. I’d love a good Honeycrisp right now, too bad they’re still so expensive. I usually stock up in the fall at the u-pick orchards, but Michigan’s crop took a hit this year and I am crying on the inside.
Love, love, love!!! Thank you for embracing fall in the kitchen cause while I’m studying for Statistics and Accounting it feels nice to be able to live vicariously through you. Keep it up friend, I need you!!
You can count on me to do what I can to help you earn that degree!
Yum! I just picked up some Honey Crisp and Ginger Crisp apples on the weekend. I love these quick & easy apple pies – perfect to make for a weeknight dessert…& then leftovers for breakfast for sure!
Katie – this post reminds me of the book I’m reading right now. You would love it! “Making Piece: A Story of Love, Loss and Pie”. Check it out.
Love the rustic look of these pies!
On it, thank you!
Apples are truly the best part of fall! I have the best memories of apple-picking growing up, even though it was just once – unforgettable. And there’s not much more delicious than making your own applesauce each week – it makes the house smell amazing!
Fun fact: our wedding ‘cake’ was a table of caramel apple pies. It was a thoroughly fall wedding!
These look wonderful! They just scream fall (aka one of my favorite seasons)… I want to go apple picking now.
YUM!!!!
you’re a genius!!
Delicious! I kind of forgot about fall and apples – thanks for the reminder and the recipe to go with it – looks so tasty and this is just the type of dessert my husband likes.
i heart apple pie, and the phyllo is genius. i love how it crunches and crumbles!
mmm this is so perfectly fall. and honeycrisp apples are the best!
Honeycrisp! YES! I can’t wait to go to the market this Saturday for apples!!
I love these pictures….and of course the pies:)
If I say adorbs will you paper cut my tongue?
I bought my first Honeycrisps of the season last week. Amazing.
How simple, cute, and (I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say…) delicious!
These look simply delicious! Honeycrisp apples are my all time fave, but I’ve never met an apple I didn’t like.
Honeycrisp apples are THE BEST! I used to think it was crazy to spend so much more on them than other apples…and then I tasted one and I’ve never looked back.
I agree, fall produce is definitely a good way to ease us into the season. And honeycrisp apples are hands down the best apples. Though I do like a good Pink Lady. Probably because of the name.
Im.in.love!
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Love the simplicity of this, except the phyllo. That stuff is so tasty, but so hard for me to work with. I always make a HUGE mess (but I guess I always make a mess while cooking anyway)!
I never dared to use phyllo. It seems to be so fragile for me. Maybe one day …
Oh Katie, these look incredible…and absolutely gorgeous! Like little apple-filled presents!
LOVE honeycrisps! Best apple EVER! Can’t wait to get my hands on some soon!
Oh wow…so simple…so good. These are happening asap!!
Oh my word. These look delicious. Wow. Great photos too!!
