How to Make Apples In Phyllo
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel, core, and thinly slice 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds).
- In a large bowl, toss apples with 2 tablespoons lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts to the apples. Gently toss to combine.
- Prepare phyllo dough according to package directions to prevent drying. Cut each phyllo sheet in half lengthwise.
- Lightly grease a clean kitchen towel with melted butter.
- Place one cut phyllo sheet on the damp towel. Brush lightly with 1 teaspoon melted butter.
- Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the walnut crumbs.
- Top with another phyllo half sheet. Brush with 1 teaspoon melted butter.
- Place 1/2 cup of the apple filling on the short end of the phyllo, about 2 inches from the edge.
- Add 1 teaspoon of the apple juice mixture to help with sealing.
- Fold the end over the filling, roll once, then fold in both sides by 1/2 inch.
- Continue rolling to the other end, tucking in the edges and sealing.
- Place the bundle seam-down on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
- Repeat steps 7-14 until all phyllo and filling are used. You should have approximately 9 bundles.
- Cover the baking sheet with a damp kitchen towel while you prepare the second tray.
- Once all the bundles are on the baking sheets, brush each with remaining melted butter. Bake for 24 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, immediately tilt the baking sheet to let excess juices run off. Brush the juices over the bundles while still warm.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
