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.
