11 24 2004 - apple and phyllo
dessert: a disappointing apple/phyllo dough thing. I diced apple, mixed with lemon juice, sugar, salt, and nutmeg (we own no cinnamon), and mounded on top of several layers of butter phyllo. topped insides with toasted walnuts and outside phyllo with a bit of sugar.
result: not so good.
improve: need a better ratio and distribution of phyllo to apple; the mound here not only made eating difficult, but put too much empty phyllo on the edges and too much apple in the middle. also, the apple should have been diced finer (1/4 inch?) and better seasoned (little i could have done about that). cranberries would have made a nice addition to the inside. also, the yogurt/mint combo "sauce" was kind of gross.
