Use packaged frozen phyllo to form the light, flaky crust.

Ingredients

4 sheets thawed phyllo pastry

3 tbsp (45 mL) vanilla wafer crumbs (or dry bread crumbs mixed with 1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar)

1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, melted

5 medium apples, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup (125 mL) raisins

2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice

3 tbsp (45 mL) amber or dark rum

1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar

1 tbsp (15 mL) all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground allspice

granulated sugar

Preparation

Lightly grease large baking sheet or 9inch (23 cm) pie plate. Place one sheet of phyllo, in centre; brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with one-third of the crumbs. Top with second sheet at right angles to the first; brush with butter and sprinkle with crumbs. Top with third sheet, centering it between first two; repeat butter and crumbs. Top with fourth sheet at right angles to the third; brush with butter.

In large bowl, mix together apples, raisins, lemon juice and rum. Stir together sugar, flour, cinnamon and allspice; stir into apple mixture.

Spoon filling in centre of phyllo, spreading to 9-inch (23 cm) diameter. Fold phyllo towards centre to completely enclose filling. Brush top with remaining butter, sprinkle with a little sugar.

Bake in 375F (190C) oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender and phyllo is golden. Serve warm.
