1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
8 (17x12 in.) sheets frozen phyllo pastry, thawed
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
2 tsp. lemon juice

Heat oven to 375° F. Grease 15x10x1-in. baking pan. In medium bowl, combine apples, cranberries, sugar, walnuts, lemon peel and lemon juice; toss to coat. Unroll pastry sheets; cover with plastic wrap or towel . Place 1 phyllo sheet on piece of plastic wrap. Brush with butter, sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. bread crumbs. Repeat layering with remaining phyllo sheets and butter, sprinkling 1 Tbsp. bread crumbs on every other sheet.
