Ingredients
8 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
Butter-flavored cooking spray
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 medium tart apples, peeled and sliced

Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup cold butter
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Directions

Place phyllo dough on a work surface; cut in half. Spritz one sheet with butter-flavored spray. Repeat with remaining sheets of phyllo, placing each
layer, sprayed side up, in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it
from drying out.)

In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, ginger and cinnamon; add apples and toss to coat. Spoon over phyllo dough.
In another large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, bread crumbs, ginger and cinnamon; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add almonds; sprinkle over apple mixture.

Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Yield: 9 servings.
