We started our laid back Sunday with a late breakfast of homemade waffles for the kids and egg white wraps for the adults.  Not needing lunch, we decided to make an early dinner of slow roasted, coffee and brown sugar rubbed pork served with veggies.  A baked dessert seemed to be the best way to end our day.

With our refrigerator fruit bin still full of apples from a previous picking adventure, they seemed to be a good starting point for our dessert.  Being in laid back mode, I didn’t feel inspired to make (or clean up the mess from) making a homemade dough or crust.  My solution was to use phyllo dough.  Wrapping the apples and a few other ingredients in the phyllo would produce a hot and juicy filling.

The best part about making individual apple desserts was that each treat was made to order.  Our 11 year old asked for only apples in hers.  My husband and our 13 year old had apples and pecans, and I had apples, cranberries, and pecans.  We all agreed on the topping for these treats, though: a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
