Ingredients
- 6 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Sugar substitute
- 0 Vegetable oil spray
- 1 Egg whites
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel and core the Granny Smith apples, then chop them into small cubes.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped apples, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, sugar substitute, and unsweetened applesauce.
Step 4
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
Step 5
On a clean surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo and lightly spray with vegetable oil. Top with another sheet of phyllo and repeat the spraying. Continue layering until all sheets are used.
Step 6
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 6 equal squares.
Step 7
Place about 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture onto one half of each square.
Step 8
Fold the phyllo over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal.
Step 9
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with vanilla extract and lightly brush over the turnovers.
Step 11
Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit on top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
Step 12
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 13
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
