4 large fuji apples
1/3 c granulated fruictose (fruit sugar)
2 Tbsp farm fresh honey
1/2 tsp lemon emulsion or extract (flavoring)
2 Tbsp golden flax seed, toasted
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon, ground (flavoring)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 - 1 c filberts, more or less to taste
half a 1 lb box of filo sheets, thawed
2 c frosted flakes cereal, crushed
1/2 c flieshman's margarine (or butter)

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Peel & core apples and crack filberts. Chop both finely in food processor. In pyrex bowl stir together the apple mixture, fruictose, honey, flour, flax seed, salt. Cook in microwave for about 6 minutes until apples are almost tender. Let mixture chill for about 20 minutes.
2. Crush cereal, melt butter and unwrap filo. Cover dough with plastic wrap and a damp towel while you are working with it. Cut the 12"x 16" rectangle of filo sheets in half, making 2 stacks of 8"x 12". On a parchment lined cookie sheet, start stacking the sheets and brushing butter between sheets, sprinkling each layer with some of the crushed frosted flakes. When u have made about 8 layers, spread 1/2 of the apple filling to the edges of filo and roll up, jelly roll fashion from the 12" side. Brush with butter and set aside. Repeat directions and make a second roll. Brush with butter and bake for about 35 minutes until light golden brown. Let cool before slicing. This would be yummy served with frozen yogurt. Enjoy!
