Crunchy golden phyllo pastry, a fragrant nut-laced pumpkin filling, spicy roasted apples and creamy whipped topping—it’s a perfect vegan holiday dessert for anyone looking for something a little out of the ordinary. Although this dessert is loosely based on a Turkish recipe, I chose to use some native ingredients from the Americas, including two distinctively American syrups (one from the North and one from the South) in place of the traditional (non-vegan) honey. This is an exceptionally elegant dessert which can be made well ahead of time. It also makes a lovely ending to a fall or winter Mediterranean meal.
