Ingredients

3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, quartered and sliced very thin
2 tablespoons raisins
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 sheets phyllo dough
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar

CUSTARD SAUCE

1 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine apples and raisins in large bowl. Mix cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg in cup; toss with apples.

2. Place 1 sheet phyllo on clean kitchen towel. (Keep remaining phyllo covered.) Brush lightly with oil. Layer remaining phyllo on top, lightly brushing each sheet with oil. Spoon apple mixture along one short side of phyllo. Roll up tightly from short side, using towel as a guide. Transfer seam side down to jelly-roll pan. Brush with remaining oil and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 45 minutes. Cool on wire rack 30 minutes. Cut into 1 1/2-inch slices. Serve with custard sauce. Makes 7 servings.

3. Custard Sauce: Bring milk to boil in small saucepan. Whisk sugar, cornstarch and egg yolk together in small bowl; gradually whisk in boiling milk. Return mixture to saucepan; cook, stirring, over medium-low heat, until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Transfer to bowl, cover surface and refrigerate until chilled.

Makes 1 cup.
