    Place 1 sheet of phyllo on piece of parchment paper with narrow side farthest away. Spray phyllo with cooking spray; sprinkle 1⁄2 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs on phyllo. Overlap second sheet of phyllo over first sheet about 1 inch down from top. Spray with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1⁄2 tablespoon crumbs. Continue overlapping with remaining phyllo and crumbs, spraying with cooking spray between each layer.

    Spoon cranberry mixture in a row across one short end of phyllo. Sprinkle almonds over mixture. Fold bottom and sides of phyllo to cover mixture, forming an envelope. Flour hands. Roll filled phyllo, jelly roll fashion, to form strudel. Place strudel on prepared baking sheet; spray top with cooking spray. Make 8 diagonal cuts across top. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Working with phyllo dough can be difficult. Grandma's s secret to making it easier to handle was to keep the sheets not being used covered with waxed paper and topped by a damp cloth. This helps keep the dough moist.
