Yield 40 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 sheets phyllo pastry
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 granny smith apple, unpeeled and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
8 ounces brie cheese, diced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

To make the filling, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the shallots, apple, salt and pepper and cook until the shallots are softened, about 4 minutes.
Let cool.
In a bowl, stir together the walnuts, Brie and parsley.
Stir in the apple mixture.
Place one sheet of phyllo on the work surface, covering the rest with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
Cut lengthwise into five 2-1/2" wide strips.
Brush each strip with some of the butter.
Spoon 1 teaspoons of the filling about 1/2 inch from the end of each strip. Fold one corner of the phyllo over the filling so the bottom edge meets the side edge to form a triangle.
Continue folding the triangle sideways and upward to the end of the strip.
Fold the end flap over to stick.
Repeat with the remaining phyllo.
Brush both sides of the triangles with butter.
Bake on a rimmed baking sheet in a 375 degree F oven for about 18 minutes or until golden.
