Ingredients

• 12 pieces Phyllo pastry cups
• 1 cup Cranberries
• 0.5 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange the phyllo pastry cups on a baking sheet.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, pineapple chunks, granulated sugar, and water.

Step 3

Stir the mixture and cook until the cranberries begin to pop and the pineapple softens, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the orange zest and ground cinnamon. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

Spoon the cranberry-pineapple mixture into each phyllo cup, filling them generously.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top of each cup for added crunch and flavor.

Step 7

Bake the filled phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the filling is warmed through.

Step 8

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
