Lowfat but really good recipe for the week!

My friend Reby sue is always after me because my recipes are fattening. So this one is for you! I will try and put a few in that are lowfat but still really good.


Apple Turnovers

Ingredients:
Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
3 tbsp apple juice concentrate
2 tsp whole-wheat flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon (plus extra for sprinkling)
4 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
1 tbsp confectioners' sugar (optional)

Preparation:Heat oven to 375°. Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Toss apples, concentrate, flour and cinnamon in a bowl. Stack 2 phyllo sheets at a time and cut them in half lengthwise. Place 3/4 cup of apple mixture across the end of one half. Roll up and place on cookie sheet. Repeat until you've used up all apples. Brush top of each roll with juice from apple mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake until browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Cut each roll in half.

AWESOME! Now really dumb question. What is phyllo dough and where do I get it?

Oh, and by the way, anytime you want to come down, we will try and be here. We have an award ceremony for Sarah Thursday night and a baby shower Sat afternoon but other than that, I think we're pretty open!

Phyllo dough is a pastry dough that you can get at any grocery store in the freezer section or sometimes they sell it over by the canned biscuits. Its lower in fat then most crust and really flaky but I like it.
