In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.

Keep the other sheets of phyllo and the leftover strips covered with a damp cloth or damp paper towels to prevent drying. Lightly spray the phyllo in the pie pan with cooking spray. prinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and sugar mixture. Either layer the leftover strips over the phyllo sheets or save for making a lattice crust. Spoon the filling into the crust. Crisscross the strips for a lattice crust, if desired.

Cook’s Tip on Phyllo
Step 6
Phyllo (FEE-loh), available frozen in most large supermarkets and specialty groceries, is a tissue-thin pastry dough. To thaw, put the frozen phyllo dough in the refrigerator for about 6 hours. Thawed phyllo sheets quickly become dry and brittle, so use a damp dish towel to cover the dough you aren’t using. Unopened thawed dough will keep in the refrigerator for about a month. If refrozen, phyllo dough can become brittle and crumbly.
