  Apples give a distinctive twist to this traditional Greek dessert.
  Sauteing them first to let the water evaporate ensures a crisp crust.
  APPLE LAYER: Peel and slice apples. Melt butter in Dutch oven over
  high heat. Add apples, sugar and cinnamon; cook, stirring
  occasionally, until apples are tender and juices are evaporated, 15
  to 20 minutes. Cool. NUT MIXTURE: Combine all ingredients in small
  bowl. Preheat oven to 400^F. Trim phyllo sheets to 13x9-inch
  rectangles; cover with plastic wrap. Brush 13x9-inch metal baking pan
  with butter. Place 1 phyllo sheet in pan and brush with some of the
  melted butter (keep remaining phyllo covered). Layer 5 more phyllo
  sheets on top, brushing each with butter. Spread 2 cups nut mixture
  on top and repeat layering with 6 more phyllo sheets and butter.
  Spread apple mixture on top; repeat layering with 6 more phyllo
  sheets and butter. Sprinkle remaining nut mixture on top; sprinkle
  with bread crumbs and layer with the 6 remaining phyllo sheets and
  butter. With sharp knife, cut lengthwise through pastry and filling
  into 1 1/2 inch-wide strips, then cut diagonally at 2-inch intervals
  to make diamonds. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden. Drizzle
  honey on top and bake 5 minutes more. Cool in pan on wire rack. Serve
  warm or at room temperature with whipped or ice cream. Makes 12
  servings.
