Fruit muffins with semolina in edible cups

If you made strudel and you have extra phyllo sheets left, make these creative and soft fruit muffins. You can make them in combination with cherries or apples, they are great in both variants.

Edible cups will give them a special charm, and after baking they become perfectly crispy and blend with a soft cookie in the middle. Great combination, I definitely recommend.

This recipe was created in my kitchen, because I always had 2 phyllo sheets left after the Strudel with semolina and cherries, which I wanted to use somehow. In this recipe you can also learn how to make edible muffin cups..
