Average Rating: 5

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 30 min.
YIELD: 10 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium lemon
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup apricot spreadable fruit
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough (14x9-inch size)
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • Sweetened whipped cream, optional

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Cut unpeeled lemon into 8 wedges; remove seeds. Place wedges in a food processor; process until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in walnuts, raisins, spreadable fruit, coconut and cinnamon.
  • 2. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet; brush with butter. Layer with remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each layer. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
  • 3. Spoon filling onto center of phyllo, leaving a 2-in. border on all sides. Fold edges of phyllo over filling, leaving center uncovered. Brush folded edges with butter. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Using parchment, carefully slide galette onto a wire rack to cool slightly. If desired, serve with whipped cream.
