Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8, 1 slice per serving

Ingredients

Butter-flavor cooking spray

Filling

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons light tub margarine
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 medium nectarines, sliced (about 2 pounds), or 4 cups frozen unsweetened sliced peaches, thawed
1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed (about 3/4 pint fresh or 12 ounces frozen)

Crust

2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed in refrigerator

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9-inch metal pie pan with cooking spray.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, stir together the honey, margarine, lemon zest, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Gently stir in the nectarines and raspberries.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.

    Step 4

    Stack the phyllo sheets on a cutting board. Cut the sheets all at once into a 12-inch square, keeping the leftover strips. Working quickly, place 1 sheet of phyllo in the pie pan. Keep the other sheets of phyllo and the leftover strips covered with a damp cloth or damp paper towels to prevent drying. Lightly spray the phyllo in the pie pan with cooking spray. prinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and sugar mixture. Either layer the leftover strips over the phyllo sheets or save for making a lattice crust. Spoon the filling into the crust. Crisscross the strips for a lattice crust, if desired.

    Step 5

    Bake for 30 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the phyllo is golden brown.

  2. Cook’s Tip on Phyllo

    Step 6

    Phyllo (FEE-loh), available frozen in most large supermarkets and specialty groceries, is a tissue-thin pastry dough. To thaw, put the frozen phyllo dough in the refrigerator for about 6 hours. Thawed phyllo sheets quickly become dry and brittle, so use a damp dish towel to cover the dough you aren’t using. Unopened thawed dough will keep in the refrigerator for about a month. If refrozen, phyllo dough can become brittle and crumbly.
