In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg. In a
medium skillet over medium-high, toss the apples with 1
tablespoon of the sugar mixture and the salt. Saute just until
tender, about 3-4 minutes.
In a small cup , mix together lemon juice, water and cornstarch.
Stir into apples and cook for another 30 seconds, or until
thickened. Remove from heat and cool.
When ready to assemble the cigars, heat oven to 400 F. Coat a
baking sheet with cooking spray. Evenly stack the 4 sheets of
phyllo dough. With a paring knife, slice the stack in half
lengthwise. Remove one half sheet from the stack and cover the
rest with plastic wrap, then a damp (not wet) kitchen towel.
Place a piece of phyllo dough in front of you and spoon 1
tablespoon of the apple filling across one of the short ends.
Spritz the dough lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle lightly
with about 1/2 tsp. of the reserved spiced sugar. Starting with
the apple end, roll up the pastry sheet to create a log with the
apples in the middle. Place cigar on the prepared baking sheet,
with the loose end down. Repeat with remaining apple filling,
sugar and pastry sheets. Spray the tops of the cigars lightly with
cooking spray and sprinkle with bit more sugar. Bake for 15
minutes, or until golden and crisp.
