CARAMELIZED APPLES IN PHYLLO TARTS
Phyllo is neither the culinary bully nor nutrition nightmare that it is commonly thought to be. Quick hands and a good pastry brush or nonstick cooking spray are all you need to make delicious pastries. You can use muffin tins for the tart shells or make a single tart in a 6-inch cake pan.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a work surface,stack the phyllo sheets and cut out four 7-inch squares (12 total), discarding the scraps. Stack the squares between 2 sheets of wax paper and cover with a kitchen towel.
- Spray the countertop and 4 individual ring molds with nonstick cooking spray. Lay a square of phyllo on the counter and sprinkle with some of the 2 teaspoons of sugar; lay a second square on top, brush with the melted butter, and sprinkle with sugar. Cover with a third layer and sprinkle with sugar.
- Work the phyllo into the ring mold as you would a handkerchief into a pocket, letting the edges overhang. Repeat with the remaining phyllo. Place the molds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Carefully transfer the phyllo shells to a rack.
- Combine the apples, lemon juice, and apple juice and set aside. In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and caramelize for 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the heat, add the Cognac, and stir with a wooden spoon. Return the pan to the heat, add the spices and apple mixture, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Divide the apples among the shells and sprinkle with crystallized ginger.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Brush pie pan with about 1 Tbsp. butter.
- Whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- Place 2 phyllo sheets on a work surface with the long side facing you; keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap. Using pastry brush, lightly brush entire surface with butter, then sprinkle 1 Tbsp. cinnamon sugar on right half of phyllo. Fold left half of both sheets over to enclose sugar. Brush surface lightly with butter. Press folded phyllo, buttered side down, into center and edges of prepared pan, leaving an equal overhang on two opposite sides. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, rotating where the overhang lies to create a star-like pattern.
- Pour lemon juice into a large bowl. Very thinly slice apples crosswise into rounds with mandoline (about 1 mm thick), transferring to lemon juice and tossing gently to coat as you go.
- Layer apple slices in phyllo-lined pan, overlapping in concentric circles to form a single even layer. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. cinnamon sugar. Repeat with remaining apple slices, sprinkling with 1 Tbsp. cinnamon sugar between each layer and pressing firmly with clean hands to compact. Repeat until pan is full, then sprinkle top with 2 Tbsp. cinnamon sugar (you may have leftover cinnamon sugar depending on the size of your apples; save for another use).
- Place pie pan on a rimmed baking sheet and tent with 2 pieces of overlapping foil, making sure phyllo crust is fully covered. Bake pie 2 hours. Remove foil and continue to bake until crust is golden brown, 15-20 more minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Using a clean pastry brush, brush juices from the edges of filling over top to create a shiny glaze. Let cool completely (apples will collapse and set as pie cools; this is okay) before serving.
- Do Ahead
- Pie can be made 1 day ahead; store at room temperature.
Tips:
- To make the perfect phyllo dough, make sure to brush each sheet with melted butter before assembling the tart. This will help to create a crispy, flaky crust.
- When slicing the apples, make sure to cut them thinly and evenly. This will help them to cook evenly in the oven.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead. Just be sure to trim the excess phyllo dough around the edges.
- To prevent the tart from becoming soggy, be sure to drain the apples well after cooking them. You can also sprinkle the apples with a little bit of cornstarch before adding them to the tart.
- Serve the tart warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
This apple tart in phyllo is an easy and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The crispy, flaky crust and the sweet, tart apples are a perfect combination that will please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this apple tart a try.
