Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced apples with cinnamon, lemon juice, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix well to ensure the apples are evenly coated.
Take one phyllo dough sheet, and keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
Lightly spray the phyllo dough with cooking spray. Place about two tablespoons of the apple mixture in a line near the edge of the phyllo sheet.
Roll the phyllo dough over the filling, folding in the sides as you roll to create a neat, enclosed roll.
Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Lightly spray the tops of the dessert rolls with cooking spray.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing the non-fat Greek yogurt with a little cinnamon or vanilla extract, if desired.
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if using.
Serve the Low Fat Fried Dessert Rolls warm with the yogurt dipping sauce on the side.
