    Easy Holiday Appetizers

    Phyllo cup appetizers are the perfect food to make for the holidays. They have an incredibly flaky texture that just melts in your mouth and can be made in so many different ways. I went the salty-sweet route and filled my appetizer cups with apples, cheese, and bacon, for the ultimate hit-all-your-taste-buds treat.

    Apple appetizers are well-liked and always popular at parties. They are perfectly sweet and capture the flavors of the fall and winter seasons. If you enjoyed this apple appetizer recipe, and can't get enough apples in your life, then you'll also enjoy making easy apple dumplings, caramel apple crisp bars, or cinnamon apple Hello Dolly bars. They all have the same deliciously warm flavors of the season.
