Phyllo Apples With Rum Raisin Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Stir apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large saucepan. Pour rum into apple mixture and stir until apples are evenly coated and a thick sauce forms.
• Bring apple mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until apples are soft, about 20 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pour rum over raisins and microwave on high for 25 seconds to plump raisins (let sit 10 minutes).
• In a large bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar, and plumped raisins.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil and egg whites, being sure to mix them well.
• Place 1 sheet of phyllo on work surface and lightly brush with the oil-egg white mixture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon each of sugar, panko, and almonds, then top with another layer of phyllo and repeat the process four times. Place the last sheet of phyllo on top of the sugar mixture and brush it with the with oil-egg white mixture, but do not top with more sugar, panko, and almonds.
• Place the apple mixture on the lower 1/3 of the phyllo stack, being sure to leave a 2-inch border. Gently lift the bottom edge of the phyllo stack to cover the filling, then fold the side edges over. Continue to roll the stack away from you, until the filling is completely sealed in and the seam is on the bottom.
• Transfer to the lined baking sheet, brush the top with the oil-egg white mixture and sprinkle with 1 more tablespoon of sugar. Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool before serving.

Steps:

• These are so satisfying and don't break the calorie bank if eaten without the ice cream. They can also be made without the rum. I have suggested rum raisin ice cream because I love the combination, but vanilla ice cream or even lemon sorbet would be just as delicious.
• For the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the dark brown sugar, rum, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir to blend and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and reduce for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the sugar and other ingredients to blend together.
• Prepare the apples: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a baking dish large enough to hold all of the apples, arrange the apples in a single layer. Put a cinnamon stick inside the cavity made from coring each apple. Pour the glaze over the apples and top each with pieces of butter. Add the cider to the bottom of the dish and place it in the center of the oven.
• Cook the apples, basting them from time to time, 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. Cook's Note: Smaller apples will take less time.
• Serve with scoops of ice cream or sour cream, if desired or just by themselves. They are also delicious leftover.

Steps:

• Soak raisins in rum in a small bowl for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a large baking sheet with short sides (such as a jelly roll pan).
• Have your phyllo laid out and covered with a slightly damp towel so it does not dry out.
• Mix sliced apples, raisin mixture, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon.
• Clear a nice big flat work surface and line with a long sheet of waxed paper to work on (tape it to the counter) (work so the long sides are facing you).
• Lay a sheet of phyllo onto the wax paper and brush with some of the melted butter.
• Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs evenly over the butter.
• Place another shet of phyllo on top and repeat 3 times, so that you have 1 more sheet of phyllo left.
• Place the remaining phyllo on top,and this time take your apple mixture and place it in a mound on one of the longer sides of the dough, leaving a border along the edge.
• Untape your wax paper and then use it to carefully roll up the other side of the dough over the filling, folding in the ends and carefully place onto the baking sheet, seams down (remove the wax paper once you have your strudel safely in position on your pan).
• Combine egg and water and brush over the strudel, then sprinkle with nuts.
• Bkae in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden.
• Allow to cool slightly before serving, then dust to taste with powdered sugar.
