One Bite Apple Pie Tarlets

Last week I posted about the delicious Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls I made, and I had some ingredients left over from that recipe that I needed to use up. I hate wasting food, so I knew I could use the left over apples and cream cheese glaze for something tasty.  It just so happened that I had these cute little Phyllo Shells in the freezer and I thought they would be perfect for this!  I was right, and these are super delicious and easy to make.  They would make the perfect fall dessert at a brunch or party.  They would pair great with a seasonal beer or light white wine.  I can’t wait to make them again because they are super cute and delicious!

The overall time to make these little treats is relatively quick, too, about 25 minutes including prep time!  I have also put these in the fridge, and warmed them up the next day and they taste just as great!

I would definitely recommend these for a party or get together, just heat them up right before you get there or after the party starts. I love these things and they are so cute and seasonal!

Like Apples? How about trying out these Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls!

Spoon 1 TBS of filling into the shells (or a little more, just so they are full), and then bake for 5-8 minutes or until the shells are just browned (also check phyllo shell packaging and cook according to that). Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
