Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Begin by mixing the apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
   • Combine all the remaining ingredients in a bowl, ensuring they are well incorporated with the apples.

2. Handling Phyllo Dough:

   • Follow the instructions on the phyllo package to prevent the sheets from drying out.
   • Carefully cut the phyllo sheets in half lengthwise (not crosswise) to create two long strips.

3. Assembling the Bundles:

   • Working quickly, place one cut sheet of phyllo on a damp towel with the short end facing towards you.
   • Brush the phyllo sheet sparingly with melted butter.
   • Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of walnut crumbs evenly over the phyllo sheet.
   • Layer another half sheet of phyllo over the first one and brush it with melted butter.
   • Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the prepared filling onto the short end of the phyllo sheet, about 2 inches from the edge.
   • As you roll each bundle, add some of the juice from the filling, allowing it to moisten the layers (don’t worry if it leaks a little).
   • Fold the end of the phyllo sheet over the filling, then roll it once before folding in both sides by half an inch each.
   • Continue rolling the bundle to the other end, ensuring it is tightly sealed.
   • Press the side seams to secure the bundle, then transfer it to a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
   • Cover the assembled bundles with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.

4. Baking:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Once the tray is full, brush each bundle with melted butter before placing it in the preheated oven.
   • Bake for approximately 24 minutes, or until the bundles are golden brown and crisp.

5. Finishing Touches:

   • While the first tray is baking, prepare the second tray following the same steps.
   • As soon as the bundles are done, remove them from the oven and tilt the baking sheet slightly.
   • Brush the run-off juice from the bundles over each one while they are still warm, adding a final burst of flavor.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Allow the bundles to cool slightly before serving to avoid any burns.
   • Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
   • Serve these delightful Apple-filled Phyllo Bundles as a sensational dessert that is sure to impress!
