Description

This elegant yet simple dessert transforms humble phyllo dough into a crisp, buttery vessel for a rich mincemeat-style filling. The combination of tender diced apples, crunchy walnuts, and warm brown sugar creates a delightful textural contrast in every bite. A touch of rum extract adds a sophisticated, festive depth that elevates the dish beyond a simple fruit pie. Perfect for holiday gatherings or as a special weekend treat, it offers a lighter alternative to heavy custard pies while still delivering maximum flavor. The layers of phyllo bake to a stunning golden brown, making it as visually impressive as it is delicious. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature for the best experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, and rum extract until the fruit is evenly coated.
  3. Unroll the phyllo dough and keep it covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out while you work.
  4. To make the bottom crust, stack 3 sheets of phyllo dough, spraying each sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray as you layer them.
  5. Gently place the stack of 3 phyllo sheets into the prepared pie dish, allowing the edges to hang over slightly.
  6. Spread the apple and walnut mixture evenly over the phyllo base.
  7. To make the top crust, spray 2 sheets of phyllo dough with nonstick cooking spray and layer them over the filling.
  8. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges and press gently to seal the top and bottom layers.
  9. Use a sharp knife to score a decorative pattern or grid on the top of the pie before baking.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the phyllo layers are golden brown and crisp.
  11. Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
