These pineapple bites are a crispy, sweet treat. Any good preserve can be substituted for the pineapple jam. I used fig.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup melted butter (or as needed), divided
1 (16 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (12 ounce) jar pineapple fruit topping (such as Smucker's Pineapple Flavored Topping®)
½ (16 ounce) package phyllo dough, or more as needed
1 cup walnut pieces

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 24-cup-mini muffin pans with 1/2 cup melted butter.
Mix crushed pineapple and pineapple topping together in a bowl. Set aside.
Cut phyllo dough into 3-inch squares. Paint each square with remaining 1/2 cup butter using a pastry brush. Stack 4 phyllo dough squares together and gently press into the muffin tins. Drop 1 teaspoon of pineapple mixture into each dough cup. Place 3 to 4 walnut pieces in each. Fold dough together at top.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes; gently loosen each pineapple bite with a small knife. Let cool 10 minutes more before serving.
