FILLING:

  • 5 to 6 medium gala apples, peeled, cored & sliced. (5 cups)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon

  • 6 sheets phyllo pastry (thawed)
  • 2 large egg whites

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Set oven rack on the upper level and preheat oven to 350 F.

  5. Sprinkle evenly with ½ tsp breadcrumbs.
  6. Repeat this step layering all the sheets of phyllo pastry, leaving the final sheet bare.
