Description
A viral dessert trend that fuses creamy cheesecake with spiced apple pie, wrapped in crisp phyllo pastry for the perfect fall bite-sized treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup apple pie filling
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 package phyllo dough, thawed
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in apple pie filling and cinnamon gently.
- Unroll phyllo dough, keep covered with damp towel. Brush one sheet lightly with melted butter.

Notes
Do not overfill phyllo squares—stick to 1 tbsp filling for best results. Watch closely in final baking minutes as phyllo browns quickly.
