Apple Filled Phyllo Pockets

By pure mistake, I had a package of phyllo in my freezer (thought I was grabbing puff pastry) so after seeing this recipe in my magazine I thought I would give it a try!  I do NOT have the patience to work with phyllo on a regular basis, but this time it wasn't as horrific as I had remembered.  I had some great Honeycrisp apples (my all-time favorite apple) which were perfect for the little delictable dessert ... Apple Filling in Phyllo Pockets from Cooking Club.


Being in a hurry I made a monumental mistake ( I was in "Carol" mode)!  Since I only had about 4 Cups of apples I decided to just half the recipe,simple enough.  But  after I had peeled and chopped all the apples to make 4 cups, that's where I ended halving the recipe!  Long story short, I had to spoon off some of the liquid and the apples were a little too cinnamonny but still quite delicious. 
The final conclusion was a very good and flaky dessert



To cut some of the cinnamon I topped one with whipped cream. Vanilla ice cream would be fantastic with it also.  Since the taste was well worth the effort in dealing with phyllo I can't wait to make them again and follow the recipe correctly.  Since the box of phyllo has TWO rolls in it....
there will definitely be a next time!



I had phyllo left over from the first roll, the idea of a savory dish popped into my head.  I had a ground beef mixture made up for my loose meat sandwiches so I used that as a filling.  Another success.



Thanks For Stopping By....

LMAO, that would definitely be Carol mode. But on the other hand you didn't burn anything so I'd call it a huge success. Looks delicious. I want one of those. Wouldn't mind the savory beef either, looks so good.

I think that happens to all of us from time to time when we reduce the size of a recipe. Cooking for one, I do it often.
Still, these sure looked wonderful to me, Barb!
