Ingredients

  

• 5 sheets phyllo pastry
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 5 apples cored, peeled and thinly sliced
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking sheet with oil.
• Place 1 sheet of phyllo pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with oil all over. Top with a second sheet, brush with oil and repeat until all the phyllo is layered and brushed.
• Fan out the apple slices over the pastry, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border all around. Sprinkle the apples with sugar and cinnamon. Fold the pastry border in toward the apples and brush the border with oil.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the apples are tender. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
