Ingredients
  

Pear and Figs in Phyllo Cups

  • 8 sheets phyllo dough cut and divided into 6 squares per sheet
  • 1/2 - 2/3 Cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 Cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 Table Spoon all-purpose flour
  • 8 pieces dried figs finely cubed
  • a pinch of cinnamon
  • a pinch of five-spice powder
  • a pinch of nutmeg
  • 6 - 7 pieces pears peeled and sliced into 10 to 12 pieces per pear
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest divided
  • whipped cream to serve (optional)

Instructions
 

  •  Place a phyllo square into each hole of a 6-cup muffin pan. Brush melted butter on top. Repeat process with remaining phyllo squares until you have 6 sheets of dough layered on top of each other, with butter brushed in between. Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven. Set aside to cool.
  • While dough is being partially baked, make the filling: mix together brown sugar, white sugar, flour, dried figs, and spices in a bowl. In a separate bowl, toss sliced pears in lemon juice and mix in 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Add pears to brown sugar mixture and mix well.
  • Fill each phyllo cup with the pear and fig mixture. Sprinkle remaining lemon zest on top of the phyllo cups. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 minutes. Serve with whipped cream, if desired. 
     
    Tip:
    Phyllo dough is available at specialty shops and gourmet stores like Santis Delicatessen.
