Ingredients
6 Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Dash of vanilla extract
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 box phyllo dough, defrosted
Walnut oil or melted butter
Preparation
Peel and core apples and cut into small chunks.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add apples, sugar, spices, vanilla, and lemon juice and cook until apples are soft but still firm, about 10 minutes. Chill on a plate.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Unroll phylo dough and cover with a damp towel. Remove 4 sheets from pile (do not separate) and brush top with walnut oil. Cut into thirds lengthwise. Remove 4 more sheets, cut one strip the same size as the others, and brush with oil. (Wrap remaining dough in plastic; refrigerate or freeze).
Spoon apple mixture onto ends of strips. Roll into free-form cone shapes, loosely gathering and folding back excess dough.
Place cones on a baking sheet seam side down and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
