- METHOD ONE - QUICKEST:.

- In small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and mix well. On work surface, place one sheet of filo dough. Brush with butter and sprinkle with a generous teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat layers, using all of the filo dough.
- Spoon apple filling across one long end of the filo stack, leaving a 2" border along one long edge and the sides. Brush edges around apple filling with butter. Fold in side edges, then roll up filo dough, enclosing the filling. Brush edge with butter and seal. Brush butter over the entire roll.
- Using two spatulas, carefully place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375F for 20-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and crisp. Cool on pan for 10 minutes, then using two spatulas, remove to wire rack to cool. Serve warm.
- METHOD 2 - QUICK ENOUGH:.
- Place apple slices in a medium saucepan with the apple juice, 1 tablespoon flour, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until the apples are crisp-tender. Cool completely.
