Yes! - a yummy skinny dessert!

Ingredients:
Shells
2 sheets phyllo pastry
2 tsp. butter, melted

Filling
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 cups peeled, sliced apples
2 Tbsp. chopped toasted pecans
icing sugar to spinkle

Instructions:
To prepare shells: Preheat oven to 400 F. Lay phyllo sheet on work surface and brush with half the butter. Using scissors, cut into three 5" wide strips. Fold ends in to make a rectangle of 3 layers; gently mold into muffin cups. Repeat with remaining phyllo and butter - makes 6 shells. Bake 5 minutes, or until golden. These can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
To prepare filling: In a heavy skillet, heat sugar, lemon rind and juice and cinnamon until bubbly. Add apples and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes or until tender. Let cool slightly. Spoon into prepared shells. Sprinkle with toasted pecans, then icing sugar. Serves 6.
