Ingredients
Method
Peel and slice apples. In large nonstick skillet, bring apples, 1/2 cup (125 mL) water, honey, cinnamon and lemon rind to simmer over medium heat; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
Lay 1 sheet of phyllo on work surface, keeping remainder covered with damp tea towel; brush lightly with oil. Repeat twice, using all but about 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil. Using sharp knife, cut into quarters. Gently push each into large muffin cup, separating layers to ruffle edges.
Divide apple mixture among cups; sprinkle with almonds. Brush remaining oil over ruffled edges of phyllo. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven until pastry is light golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly on rack. Serve warm.
