Berry Crumble Phylo Dessert Pizza's

1/4 C ground almonds
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C oatmeal (ground)
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 C butter
1 granny smith apple
1 C blueberries

8 phyllo sheets/leaves
1/4 C melted butter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a food processor, grinder or blender, grind oats and almonds. Mix in sugar and cinnamon. Cut butter into the dry mixture. Set aside.

Peel and thinly slice the apple. Rinse and dry fresh blueberries. If you are using frozen; thaw drain and pat dry.

Take 1 sheet of phyllo and lightly brush it with melted butter. Lay another sheet of phyllo over top of it and brush with butter again. Fold in half and then in half again. Using a 6 inch pot lid (the smallest in the set) press down to make an imprint on the phyllo. I then cut out the phyllo circle.




Spray baking pan with cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter. Set 4 phyllo rounds on the pan. Take 1 tbsp of oat mixture and top the phyllo round. Then divide apples and blueberries between the 4 phyllo rounds. Top with the remaining oat mixture.



Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fruit is cooked and phyllo is golden brown. Cut in 4 slices with the pizza cutter and top with ice cream or cool whip. Serve warm.

Sole Phyllo Packets with Dill Cream Cheese

We went to dinner at friends last weekend and K&S made halibut in phyllo. It was such a great idea. The phyllo is a great flavor with fish. I had sole in the freezer, so I found a couple of recipes and combine them to make it work. I served it with asparagus and a salad.

6-8 oz (3/4 - 1 Cup) Cream cheese, Softened
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
salt & pepper to taste
2 tsp Fresh lemon juice
8 Sole fillets
Cooking spray, butter Flavored
4 Phyllo leaves, thawed

>Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well, and set aside.
>Place 1 sheet of phyllo on a damp towel (keep remaining phyllo covered).
>Lightly coat phyllo with cooking spray; fold in half crosswise.
> Place 1 fillet on phyllo; Spread one-fourth of cheese mixture on top of the first fillet and the top with the second fillet.(I used 2 fillets so that there was some substance to the package - 1 just was not enough)
>Fold phyllo over fish; fold lengthwise edges in about 1 inch, and roll up, jellyroll fashion.
>Lightly coat phyllo packet with cooking spray; place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
>Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo, cheese mixture, and fillets.

Bake at 375F for 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
