Oh my gosh y’all! I am so HAPPY that the Crazy Cooking Challenge is BACK!!
I had no idea I had joined 9 months into a 12 month project. I was terribly sad to find out the Cheesecake round (which I missed getting a recipe up for, boo) was month 12. A dark cloud hung over my kitchen. Then last month, Tina sent out an email – CCC was coming back. JOY!! Last month’s Ranch Dressing round had a 2 day notice (which didn’t happen for me), but I knew I couldn’t wait to put together an Apple Pie recipe for October. So here we are. Cooking with Tina and so many other great bloggers again.
One Year Ago: BHG Meatloaf
Caramel-Apple Pie Triangle Treats
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup caramel squares snipped in half {I used Kraft, in the yellow bag}
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon dried apples chopped
- 3 tablespoons pecans chopped
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 – 0.74 ounce package spiced apple cider mix
- 16 sheets frozen phyllo dough 9″x14″, thawed
- Powdered sugar to garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or your handy dandy Sil-Pat); set aside.
-
Prep your filling: snip caramels, chop dried apples, and chop pecans. Mix everything together in a bowl.
-
Lay out phyllo dough on a cookie sheet. Cover phyllo dough with damp paper towels or a damp kitchen towel to prevent dough from drying out.
-
In a small bowl, combine melted butter and apple cider mix.
-
Place one phyllo sheet on your work surface {one again my Roul’Pat is the best thing EVER!}. Brush dough with butter/cider mixture. Place another sheet of phyllo on top; brush with butter mixture. Repeat, adding two more sheet of phyllo (4 total).
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the layered sheets lengthwise into four equal strips. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling onto each strip at one end. {I put 3 caramel pieces and some nuts and apples.}
-
To fold strip into a triangle, bring a corner over filling so the short edge lines up with the long edge. Continue folding the triangular shape along the entire length of the strip. {This sounds harder than it is.}
-
Place filled triangle on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining three strips, then repeat using remaining phyllo, butter mixture, and filling. Brush triangles with remaining butter mixture.
-
Bake about 15 minutes or until triangles are crisp and golden brown. Cool slightly on baking sheet; dust with powdered sugar.
