In large skillet, melt margarine over medium-high heat. Add apples and saute 15 minutes, until tender. Add raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon; stir well. Remove from heat and let cool. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat an 11-inch tart pan with cooking spray. Gently press 1 sheet of phyllo into pan, allowing ends to extend over edges; lightly coat phyllo with cooking spray. Place another sheet of phyllo across first in a crisscross pattern; coat phyllo with cooking spray.

Repeat procedure with remaining 4 phyllo sheets. Fold in phyllo to fit pan and form a rim. Bake about 15 minutes, until golden. Cool on wire rack. Sprinkle phyllo shell with confectioners' sugar. In small saucepan, combine milk and caramels; cook over medium heat until caramel melts, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Spoon apple mixture into phyllo shell; drizzle caramel mixture over apples. Makes 8 servings.
