The ingredients for Apple Galette in Phyllo are:

2-3 tart apples
8 sheets of #4 thickness phyllo dough
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoons butter, unmelted
2 tablespoons sherry or port, plus a glass for the chef
1 cup dried unsweetened cranberries
1/8 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoons fresh ground nutmeg
1 small pinch salt
1/3 cup pine nuts
juice of one half orange (plus zest, if desired)

Here is how you make Apple Galette in Phyllo:

Preheat an oven to 400 F.Core and slice the apples into 1/4" slices (peel if desired?I?m lazy and skip this). Toss into a big bowl. Add all the ingredients to the bowl except the butter and phyllo and toss well to coat the apples.Take two sheets of phyllo and lay them on a large nonstick cookie sheet. Brush the phyllo with melted butter lightly. Add two more sheets and repeat. Add two more sheets and repeat. Add two more sheets and repeat. You should now have eight sheets of phyllo stacked on top of each other. You should have used one to two tablespoon of butter for the entire stack; if you like crispy or buttery a lot, use more melted butter.With a slotted spoon, scoop the apple mix from the bowl and place it in a mound in the center of the sheets. Fold in one corner of the phyllo. About an inch or two away from the corner of the fold, fold in the phyllo again. Continue in this way, making pleats all the way around. They don't have to be perfect, they just have to look decent and hold the center in.When you folded all the sides in, brush the top of the fruit with juice from the bottom of the bowl. Place one tablespoon of unmelted butter on the top right in the center of the apples. Place in the oven and bake until the center is hot and the crust is golden brown, just tending to mahogany, about 12-20 minutes.When the galette comes out, if you wish, you may drizzle more of the juice from the bottom of the mixing bowl onto the top of it. Don't overdo it or the pastry will get soggy, but the juice has a lot of flavor.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DAMIENDUCKS.
