Peaches and Cream in Phyllo

This was concocted after searching for something sweet to use up extra phyllo sheets. I couldn't find what I wanted, so I took bits and pieces from multiple recipes and came up with this. I think any pie filling would work wonderfully. The recipe has been updated with correct amounts.
