Apples In Phyllo
This is the best (non-chocolate) dessert i have ever made. I must credit the idea for the recipe to my boss's husband, harold. When i made these for the family at christmas time, i had a hard time convincing everyone that i actually made them and didn't buy them from a pastry shop (and i'm known for my desserts)! Please try them...they are excellent!
