Servings: persons

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped (2 1/4 cups)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed if frozen
butter flavored nonstick cooking spray
Cinnamon Sugar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1
Mix all filling ingredients.
2
Place stacked sheets of phyllo on a flat surface and cover with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.
3
Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface. Lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. Top with another sheet. Cut lengthwise in three 4-inch-wide strips. Move strips apart. Mound 1 heaping tablespoon filling at one end about 1-inch from corner. Fold opposite corner at same end over filling, forming a triangle. Continue folding your way up the strip, as you would a flag, to the end.
4
Repeat with remaining phyllo and the filling. You'll have 12 turnovers. (Can be made ahead up to this point and frozen on a tray or cookie sheet. When firm, pack in plastic bags.).
5
To bake freshly made or frozen turnovers: Heat oven to 400-degrees F. Lightly coat a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
6
Arrange turnovers seam-side down on prepared cookie sheet. Lightly spray tops with cooking spray. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake 15 - 17 minutes, or until golden. Remove to wire rack to cool.

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.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
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.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
