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."

Okie-Dokie! This TASTED wonderful, but I will make some adjustments next time! First of all, I used 1/2 cup hazelnuts instead of cashews; and the sugar/cinnamon/nut mixture made enough to put together 3 or 4 of these rolls! Same for the cream cheese mixture - it was enough for multiple desserts. I used one can of peach slices in 100% juice, but I drained them and cut the peach slices into small bits. Instead of butter, I used canola /olive oil spray. It was a real challenge trying to roll this up because there was just too much stuff inside! I did the best I could.... When it came out of the oven, it smelled wonderful. I let it cool slightly before slicing, and served it with a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt. It really was loved by all who ate it! However, NEXT time... I will at least reduce the nut mixture and cream cheese mixture by half! YUM! Thanks Nonnie! You concocted a wonderful dessert!
