Baklava Apples

Ingredients

  • 1/3 c chopped toasted walnuts
  • 1/4 c brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 4 apples
  • butter
  • 8 layers phyllo dough
  • bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

Combine walnuts, brown sugar and allspice. Peel and core apples - leaving bottoms intact. Fill with walnut mixture and top with a dab of butter.

Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough; brush with melted butter and lightly sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Add 2 more layers of phyllo, butter and breadcrumbs, then top with another sheet of phyllo and more butter. Cut the stack in half; put an apple on each half, then gather corners to seal at the top. Repeat to wrap the other 2 apples. Bake at 350 50 minutes until golden, basting occasionally with butter in pan. Let cool,; dust with confectioners' sugar.
