Ingredients
- 4 pieces pluots (ripe but firm)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 6 pieces phyllo dough sheets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons ground anise seeds
- 1 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoons honey
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the pluots thoroughly, cut them in half, and remove the pits. Slice each half into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced pluots, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the pluots evenly. Set aside.
Step 4
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the ground anise seeds. Let the mixture infuse for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 5
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat it with the melted anise butter. Layer a second phyllo sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat this process until all 6 sheets are stacked and coated.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, carefully cut the stacked phyllo into 6 equal squares. Transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake the phyllo squares for 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 8
To assemble, place one crispy phyllo square on a serving plate. Arrange a few slices of sugared pluots on top. Drizzle with a touch of honey and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
Step 9
Garnish with a fresh mint leaf, if desired. Repeat for the remaining portions.
Step 10
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
