lengthwise into 4 - 3 1/4 inch wide strips. Stack 2 strips, 1 on top of
the other. Spoon 1 heaping tbsp. apple mixture onto 1 end of each strip,
and spread to within 1 inch of end; fold the left bottom corner over
mixture, forming a triangle. Keep folding back and forth into a triangle to end
of strip. Repeat procedure with remaining ingredients.

Hey! You're making me hungry! Those sound great. I'll have to try some....maybe with some Sugar free, fat fee ice cream and a....sllllrup (sorry, I'm drooling). Guess I'd better go do some elliptical so I have room for them!

Are you making them tonight? Let me know what time. I think we are only about 3000 miles apart, so keep them warm.

:laugh: Cowboy.... you can have 1 or 2... they're not bad in cals and you can use Splenda.

Nope Renee... I wish!
I used the last apples(sauteed) on my whole wheat pancake.
But I will be making some this week and I'll keep them warm for you

Sounds yummy! Try frozen yogurt, less cals then ice cream I believe. What is phyllo (filo) pastry, brand name or type of pastry????

carajo

These sound so good!! I am going to try them tomorrow!! I have seen alot of low cal recipes using the phyllo dough, but have never tried any....this will be the first thanks!!

Healthier_Me

I've never used Phyllo dough either.
I have yet to make these turnovers but will be this week at some point.
