Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 5 juicy sweet red apples
  • 8 sheets filo pastry
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter plus more for buttering filo sheets
  • handful crushed walnuts
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon plus a little more for dressing
  • icing sugar to decorate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 390 F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Clean and peel the apples then grate them.
  • Brown the grated apple in a non stick pan with the butter and sugar for 10 minutes, or until caramelized. If your apples are not very juicy, add some water when cooking to help the apples soften.
  • Add the cinnamon and mix until completely incorporated. Add the crushed walnuts and mix.
  • Stack 2 sheets of filo pastry, buttering each, then spread the caramelized apples.
  • Top with 2 other filo pastry sheets and continue in this manner until you finish the apples. Finish with a layer of 2 filo pastry sheets.
  • Sprinkle with icing sugar. Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the top filo pastry sheets get slightly golden (keep a little more if you want them crispy).
  • Sprinkle cinnamon and icing sugar once cooled.
