APPLE CREAM CHEESE CIGARS



Apple Cream Cheese Cigars image

Years ago, I was looking for a low fat, yet satisfying dessert for a special dinner and I came across these flavor packed, strudel like, cigars. They are so satisfying, look elegant and disappear quickly. They also pack a wallop for presentation, but are very simplistic to make. They also freeze well if you freeze them before baking.

Categories     Pie

Time 30m

Yield 24 Cigars, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup dried apple, chopped
1/3 cup apple juice concentrate, thawed undiluted
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dash ground nutmeg
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese (2 ounces neufchatel. This is 1/3 less fat cream cheese)
1 large egg
12 phyllo pastry sheets, thawed
cooking spray
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs, divided
1/4 cup sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • To prepare the filling, combine the first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the apple mixture to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Cool to room temperature. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cream cheese in a small bowl; beat with a mixer at low speed until blended. Add egg; beat until blended. Fold in apple mixture; cover and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • To prepare the pastry, place 1 phyllo sheet on a large cutting board or work surface (cover remaining dough to keep from drying), and lightly coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle the phyllo with 2 teaspoons graham cracker crumbs and 1 teaspoon sugar. Repeat the layers twice, ending with the crumbs and sugar. Cut phyllo stack lengthwise into 6 (2 3/4-inch-wide) strips using a sharp knife. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of apple mixture 1/2 inch from the end of each phyllo strip. Roll up each strip, beginning with apple mixture end; place the strips, seam sides down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, and lightly coat each roll with cooking spray. Repeat the procedure with the remaining phyllo, crumbs, sugar, and apple mixture.
  • To prepare the topping, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over phyllo rolls. (To Freeze: Here is were I place the cigars on a baking sheet and hard freeze for 1 hour. Remove the cigars and place in freezer proof bags or FoodSaver them on the gentle setting.).
  • Bake at 350° for 10 minutes, and cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the apples into thin slices. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from breaking.
  • Be careful not to overfill the cigars. If they are too full, they will be difficult to roll and seal.
  • Make sure the cigars are completely sealed before frying them. This will prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Fry the cigars in batches so that they do not overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Serve the cigars immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Apple cream cheese cigars are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and filled with a sweet and creamy apple cream cheese filling. These cigars are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for an impressive appetizer, give this recipe a try.
