Apple-Stuffed Cinnamon Bundles
Ingredients
Apple Mixture
4 apples or 3-1/2 cup (of peeled medium diced Granny Smith, Washington Gala, and Honey Crisp apples mixed)
cup light brown sugar*
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, firm
cup melted unsalted butter (for buttering phyllo pastry sheets)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoon vanilla extract
teaspoon corn starch
1 package (6 sheets) phyllo dough
Combine in a small bowl:
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
Garnish:
Powder Sugar
Fresh mint
Whipped cream or Low fat whipped topping
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Preparation:
Prepare apple mixture:
In large saut pan on medium high heat, saut apples in butter for 6-8 minutes. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. In a small cup, mix cornstarch and vanilla extract until dissolved, stir into apple mixture and cook for additional two minutes on medium high heat. Turn off heat and set aside.
Prepare phyllo dough bundles:
Lightly grease a large six muffin tin pan.
Starting with the first sheet of phyllo dough, brush each side with melted butter then dust with the powdered sugar and cinnamon mix. Continue until all 6 sheets have been buttered and dusted with sugar and cinnamon mix, stacking one sheet on top of the other as you go.
Cut each stack into 6 squares. Line the bottom and sides of each muffin cup using one stack of squares. Leave an over-hang.
Fill each phyllo lined muffin cup - full with the apple mixture (this will depend on how big the apples are cut), making sure each phyllo lined muffin cup has equal amounts of apple mixture.
Fold excess phyllo dough over the apples in each muffin cup and pinch top closed to create the bundles.
Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Garnish with powdered sugar, whipped cream and sprig of fresh mint.
