Apple Cranberry Phyllo Turnovers
- 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water
- 6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 ladyfinger cookies, crushed, divided
- Cooking spray
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large nonstick pan cook the apples, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium heat stirring occasionally until the fruit is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the juices in the pan thicken.
- Set aside to cool.
- Lay a sheet of phyllo onto a large cutting board and brush the dough with oil.
- Top with a second sheet and brush with oil.
- Sprinkle half the crushed cookies on top.
- Add another sheet of phyllo and brush with oil.
- Cut the phyllo into 4 long pieces.
- Put a small mound of the apple mixture about 1-inch from the bottom of 1 section and fold the phyllo over the mixture into a triangle-shaped pocket.
- Continue to fold to maintain the triangle shape so a turnover is formed.
- Repeat with the other 3 sections.
- Repeat the whole process again with 3 more sheets of phyllo so that you wind up with 8 turnovers.
- Be sure to reserve a little oil to brush the top of each turnover.
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, place the turnovers on the sheet, brush the tops with the remaining oil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned.
- Serve warm.
