Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a bowl until coated.

  2. Step 2

    Brush a 10-inch skillet with melted butter, then layer 3 phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter as you go.

  3. Step 3

    Spread apple mixture evenly over the phyllo base, then top with remaining 3 sheets, brushing each with butter.

  4. Step 4

    Score the top phyllo into 4 wedges with a knife, cutting partway through without cutting to the bottom.

  5. Step 5

    Bake at 400°F until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy, about 12 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Cool for 2 minutes, then slide onto a cutting board and cut along the score lines. Serve warm.
