Direcciones
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Generously coat a 9" pie plate with vegetable cooking spray.
- 2. In a food processor or possibly blender process the cheeses, sugar, egg yolks, lowfat milk, flour, lemon juice, lemon rind, and vanilla till smooth. In a bowl whip the egg whites till stiff and gently fold into the mix.
- 3. Place the 4 sheets of phyllo pastry into the prepared pan, crisscrossing them on the bottom and brushing each lightly with some of the butter or possibly margarine. Trim the overhanging pastry leaving a 2" border all around.
- (There's an illustration which I cannot really reproduce here which shows how to place the phyllo leaves. Basically, the bottom 2 are crossed and then one is placed horizontal and the other vertical.)
- 4. Place the filling in the pan, roll the outer edges of the overlapping pastry toward the filling, tucking it in and rolling it to create a rim. Brush the edges lightly with the remaining butter or possibly margarine.
- 5. Place the pan on a cookie sheet, put in the center of the oven.
- Place a baking pan with 2" of water on the lower rack of the oven.
- Bake for 50 to 55 min or possibly till set. Remove from the oven and allow to cold on a rack. Refrigeratefor 6 hrs or possibly overnight.
- 6. Top with the apricot spread, if you like, and serve the pie chilled, cut into wedges.
- *This pie can be baked without the crust as a pudding.
- APRICOT SPREAD
- 1. In a small saucepan bring the apricots and juice to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer very slowly for 45 min, or possibly till smooth and softened, stirring occasionally.
- 2. Allow the mix to cold slightly, then process in a food processor or possibly blender till smooth.
- 3. Place in a covered container and refrigeratefor 4 to 6 hrs or possibly overnight. Serve chilled.
- *Other dry fruits such as peaches or possibly prunes can be substituted for the apricots.
- This can be used as a fruit spread on toast, a topping on pies or possibly as a natural low-sugar flavoring for plain yogurt.
