Method

Peel, core and dice the apples. In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add apples and toss to coat. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter; add apples. Cook about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples begin to soften. Remove from heat and cool completely. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unroll phyllo dough and brush one sheet with melted butter. Top with a second sheet and brush with some melted butter. Repeat until five sheets have been brushed with butter and stacked. Make four cuts crosswise in the rectangular stack of dough, then three cuts lengthwise to form 12 pieces of dough. Top each piece with about 1 tablespoon of cooled apples, spreading in a diagonal from one corner to another corner. Fold opposite corners over apples to form a tube, pressing gently to seal top. Repeat filling process with remaining phyllo sheets and apples. Place pastries 2-inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets; bake 12-14 minutes or until pastry is flaky and golden. Remove from sheets to cool. Serve with Vanilla Cream Sauce for dipping. Vanilla Cream Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken, then remove from heat. Serve immediately with Baked Apple Cannoli. Refrigerate any leftovers.

 

Notes: These sweet, flaky bites combine the comfort of apple pie with the convenience of a petite dessert. The decadent sauce adds a rich flavor to a pastry that will melt in your mouth.
