1
Combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Combine 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch; stir well. Add cornstarch mixture to prune mixture; stir well. Stir in brown sugar. Bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and let cool. Stir in nuts.

Working with 1 phyllo sheet at a time, heavily coat each sheet with cooking spray. Stack 1 phyllo sheet on top of another; coat top sheet with cooking spray. Using a pizza cutter or scissors, cut stack lengthwise into 4 (3 1/2-inch-wide) strips.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
