Ingredients
  • 5 Sheets Phyllo dough
  • 2/3 cups Walnuts -- chopped
  • 2 lg Apples -- cored and diced
  • 1/3 cups Brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoons Rum extract
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 325&# 194;°F (163ðC) and lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, and rum extract until well mixed.
  3. 3
    Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush lightly with oil or melted butter; repeat with the remaining four sheets, stacking them to form a bottom crust.
  4. 4
    Gently transfer the stacked phyllo sheets into the prepared pie plate, allowing edges to drape over the sides slightly.
  5. 5
    Spoon the apple and walnut mixture evenly over the phyllo base in the pie plate.
  6. 6
    Prepare the top crust by taking two additional sheets of phyllo, brushing each lightly with oil or butter, and stacking them.
  7. 7
    Cut the stacked top phyllo sheets in half lengthwise, then place them over the filling, tucking edges under the bottom crust or pressing gently to seal.
  8. 8
    Brush the top phyllo layers lightly with remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with a pinch of extra brown sugar if desired.
  9. 9
    Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
