Ingredients:
Serves 8, 1 per serving
1/3 C dried cherries, chopped
1/4 C orange juice
3 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, thinly sliced
3 Tbsp dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cardamom
1/8 tsp ground ginger
8 sheets phyllo dough, 3.2 oz, thawed
4 tsp sugar
8 sprays non-stick cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine cherries and orange juice. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until heated through and cherries soften.
Pour cherry mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger.
Place a sheet of phyllo on baking pan. Coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sugar. Repeat with remaining dough, layering all 8 pieces on top of each other, turning each to create a star-like appearance.
Spread apple filling in center of crust. Roll phyllo edges up so they form a 1 inch border (use damp fingers to seal phyllo corners so they stay in place).
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until apples are soft and phyllo is crispy and brown.
Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon before serving.
