Ingredients

  • 4 granny smith apples or 4 pippin apples, cut into small dice
  • 12 cup soy margarine
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 12 cup currants
  • 14 cup pecans, chopped
  • 12 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 12 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup sugar (optional amount, depends upon personal taste and apple sweetness)
  • 1 package phyllo pastry sheet
  • 14 cup cinnamon-sugar mixture

Method

  • Melt 3 Tbsp of margarine in a heavy saucepan, add the apples and saute 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the lemon juice, currants, pecans, and spices and saute for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Taste mixture and add sugar.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Melt the remaining margarine.
  • Cut a 2" strip off the rolled filo dough.
  • Cover the remainder with a towel and roll out the cut strip.
  • Remove 2 pieces of the cut dough at a time and place on the cutting board.
  • Brush the top piece with margarine and place about a teaspoon of the apple mixture in the lower right hand corner of the filo.
  • Fold the filo into a small triangle, much like a flag is folded, from corner to corner, or roll like a burrito.
  • Place the triangles on a baking sheet, brush the top with a little margarine, and sprinkle with a small amount of cinnamon sugar.
  • Repeat the process until all the filo has been used.
  • Bake in a 375 F oven until the triangles are just golden, about 25 minutes.
