            Nonstick cooking spray
       5    Sheets phyllo dough
      18 oz Mincemeat -- 2 cups
     2/3 c  Walnuts -- chopped
       2 lg Apples -- cored and diced
     1/3 c  Brown sugar
       1 ts Rum extract
  
   Preheat oven to 325F.  Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
   
   To make the top pie crust, spray 2 sheets of phyllo dough with
   nonstick cooking spray; stack sheets and cut the stack in half to
   make 4 sheets. Stack the 4 sheets and place a pieplate on top to
   score a circle the size of the bottom of the plate; trim off excess
   dough. Use decorative cookie cutter to cut out a stencil in the
   center. Set top crust aside and cover with a damp towel (always do
   this when working with phyllo dough).
   
   To make the bottom crust, stack the remaining 3 sheets, cut stack to
   make 6 sheets.  Lay one sheet on the pie plate and spray with cooking
   spray. Repeat with remaining sheets layering clockwise to cover
   entire pie plate. Trim off excess dough. Bake 8-10 min or til lightly
   golden. Let cool for 5 min.
   
   Filling: Combine mincemeat, walnuts, apples, brown sugar and rum
   extract in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer; cover. Cook 10 min or until
   apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Pour filling into prepared
   bottom crust and cover with prepared top crust. Bake at 350F for
   10-15min or until golden.
