Air Fryer Baklava Bites
Air Fryer Baklava Bites- these bite-sized treats are filled with nuts and honey and flavored with cinnamon and cloves. All the flavor of baklava but so much easier to make!
A super easy to make party favorite. They are crunchy, chewy, and wonderfully sweet. They only need to air fry for 4 minutes. So quick and easy!
I love making appetizers and desserts with mini phyllo cups. They have such a light and delicate texture. Be sure to also try Air Fryer Spinach Phyllo Cups, Air Fryer Cranberry Brie Cups, and Bourbon Pecan Tartlets.

Use hot honey for a spicy twist on this recipe.
Recipe Tips
- Do not crowd the air fryer basket. The air needs room to circulate around the phyllo cups to get them crispy.
- You can use all walnuts if you prefer.
- Pecans can be used in the filling either as a substitute for the walnuts or pistachios.
- This recipe can easily be doubled. Cook in batches.
Air Fryer Cooking Times Vary
Air fryer cooking times vary. Use the air frying time as an estimate.
Storage
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. They can also be stored in the refrigerator but the phyllo dough will lose some of its crispness.
