Apple Walnut Triangles

Directions

Combine apples, nuts, lemon peel, sugar and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Mix well to blend flavors; set aside.

Unroll phyllo dough sheets. Cut dough lengthwise into 2” wide strips. Place on waxed paper over damp towels. Cover all dough strips except 2 of them. Brush the 2 strips with the melted butter. Place about 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each strip, about 1” from the top edge. Fold one corner of each strip over filling. Fold over again like a flag, until entire strip is folded.

Place on buttered 10×15” pan with sides. Repeat with remaining filling and phyllo strips. Brush folded pastries, top and bottom, with melted butter. Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire rack. Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar if desired.
