List of Ingredients




1 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp water
2 medium apple(s), Granny Smith, peeled and chopped
2 medium pear(s), peeled and chopped
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup unpacked brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
6 pieces phyllo dough


Recipe



Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.


To make filling: Dissolve cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a measuring cup and set aside.


In a medium sauce pan, combine apples and pears and 2/3 cup water. Cook and stir on high heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.


Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 5 more minutes.


Add cornstarch mixture to fruit mixture; bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute.


Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a large piece of wax paper and fold it in half lengthwise. Coat folded sheet with cooking spray. Keep remaining phyllo dough sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.


Spoon about a 1/3 cup of apple mixture about an 1-inch from one end of folded strip. Fold end over apple filling at a 45-degree angle. Continue folding to form a triangle that encloses all of filling. Repeat with remaining sheets of phyllo dough.


Place turnovers on baking sheet and bake about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
