No Bake Apple Pie Bites
Description
The recipe cooks peeled, diced apples with brown sugar, lemon juice, warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and vanilla until the fruit softens. Cornstarch mixed with water is added near the end to thicken the mixture to a pudding-like consistency. This cooled filling is then spooned into delicate phyllo dough mini shells, combining a crispy texture with the smooth, warmly spiced apple. A dollop of whipped cream and optional cinnamon sprinkle finish the bites, balancing tartness and sweetness. The no-bake concept keeps the phyllo shells crisp, making these ideal for quick preparation and serving.
Assembling right before serving prevents the shells from becoming soggy, and the apple filling can be made ahead and reheated gently, but it is not recommended to freeze due to texture changes from cornstarch.
Ingredients
Apple Pie Filling
- 4 apple peeled, cored, and diced
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar use 4 tablespoons depending on how sweet you like your filling
- lemon juiced, half
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Other Ingredients
- 15 phyllo dough mini shells
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- In a medium sized saucepan over medium-high heat combine the diced apples, 1/2 cup of water, sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, allspice, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- Stir everything together and let the mixture cook with the lid on for about 8-10 minutes or until the apples have softened.
- Stir the mixture every few minutes and lower the heat if the apples start to stick to the bottom.
- In a small bowl whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until the cornstarch has dissolved.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture over the apples then stir everything together.
- Continue cooking and stirring the filling for another 2 minutes or until it has thickened.
Assembling the No Bake Apple Pie Bites
- Let the apple pie filling cool slightly before spooning it into the phyllo shells.
- Fill the phyllo shells with the filling then top them with the whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately to prevent the phyllo shells from becoming soft.
Notes
- Prepare the apple pie filling ahead and refrigerate; reheat gently on stove or microwave before serving.
- Do not freeze the filling, as cornstarch thickener alters texture when frozen.
- Fill phyllo shells just before serving to keep them crisp and prevent sogginess.
- Ensure the filling is only slightly warm or at room temperature before adding whipped cream to prevent melting.
