Ingredients

  • 5 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets (Use very thin sheets, kept refrigerated)
  • 2 tablespoons Neutral vegetable oil (canola) (For brushing the sheets, avoid olive oil which overpowers the flavor)

  • 2 tablespoons White sugar (Sprinkle over the apples before baking)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (Mix with the sugar)

    Time: PT5M

  5. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon

    Mix the white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture over the apples.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Fold the edges
