Apple Turnovers

Apple turnovers are perfect when prepping a last-minute holiday dessert. With an easy-to-follow recipe and short bake time, the end result is a delectable looking (and tasty!) treat that will have your guests thinking you were in the kitchen all day long. We won't tell if you don't...

Serves 8

Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp apple juice concentrate
  • 2 tsp whole-wheat flour
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 4 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1 tbsp confectioners' sugar (optional)

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°. Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Toss apples, concentrate, flour and cinnamon in a bowl. Stack 2 phyllo sheets at a time and cut them in half lengthwise. Place 3/4 cup of apple mixture across the end of one half. Roll up and place on cookie sheet. Repeat until you've used up all apples. Brush top of each roll with juice from apple mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake until browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Cut each roll in half.
