Apple And Cream Cheese Roll-Ups
- Filling:
- 1 cup dried apples, chopped
- 1/3 cup thawed apple juice concentrate, undiluted
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Dash of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- Pastry:
- 12 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs, divided
- 1/4 cup sugar, divided
- Topping:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- To prepare the filling, combine the first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the apple mixture to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Cool to room temperature. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cream cheese in a small bowl; beat with a mixer at low speed until blended. Add egg; beat until blended. Fold in apple mixture; cover and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- To prepare the pastry, place 1 phyllo sheet on a large cutting board or work surface (cover remaining dough to keep from drying), and lightly coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle the phyllo with 2 teaspoons graham cracker crumbs and 1 teaspoon sugar. Repeat the layers twice, ending with the crumbs and sugar. Cut phyllo stack lengthwise into 6 (2 3/4-inch-wide) strips using a sharp knife. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of apple mixture 1/2 inch from the end of each phyllo strip. Roll up each strip, beginning with apple mixture end; place the strips, seam sides down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, and lightly coat each roll with cooking spray. Repeat the procedure with the remaining phyllo, crumbs, sugar, and apple mixture.
- To prepare the topping, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over phyllo rolls. Bake at 350u0b0 for 10 minutes, and cool on a wire rack.
