1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

6 sheets 9-inch by 14-inch phyllo dough, thawed
Butter-flavored cooking spray

Place chopped pears in a medium bowl with lemon juice, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well.

Place one phyllo sheet on cookie tray and spray with butter-flavored cooking spray. Repeat with next four sheets. Lay final sheet on top. Spoon filling along length of dough sheets, leaving a border of at least 1 inch from the edges. Tuck in the short ends and roll the strudel. Bake seam side down for 25 minutes or until golden.
