Author: 
Serves: 12 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 8 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅔ cup packed brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Lightly grease a jellyroll pan with cooking spray. Place one sheet of the phyllo on the pan and brush with butter. Place another sheet on top of the first and continue as above until all the sheets have been brushed.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans, dates and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the phyllo, leaving 1 inch along the edges. Tightly roll, jellyroll style, pressing the ends to seal. Brush any remaining butter over the top. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and cool slightly.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and juice. Drizzle over the warm roll. Cut into 4-inch slices and serve warm.
