Ingredients

• 10 sheets phyllo dough sheets
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Chop the mixed nuts finely and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, whisk together the almond milk and cornstarch until smooth. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the applesauce, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Add the toasted nuts to the mixture and stir to combine. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place another sheet on top and repeat the process until all sheets are stacked.

Step 7

Spread the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo stack, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Carefully roll up the phyllo sheets into a log, tucking in the edges as you go.

Step 9

Place the pastry log seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Allow the pastry to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
