Description
A delicious twist on traditional apple pie using fillo dough for a crispy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups thinly sliced apples (approximately 2 medium apples)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 package (8 ounces) thawed fillo dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar, tossing until well-coated. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
- Lay a sheet of fillo dough in the prepared cake pan, brushing it lightly with melted butter. Repeat with 5 more sheets, brushing each with butter.
- Evenly distribute half of the apple mixture over the fillo, then sprinkle half of the granola and walnuts on top.
- Add another 6 sheets of fillo dough on top, brushing each with melted butter.
- Spread the remaining apple mixture over this layer, followed by the rest of the granola and walnuts.
- Finish with another 6 sheets of fillo, brushing each with butter and tucking the edges into the pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar and sea salt, then sprinkle generously over the top layer of fillo.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the fillo is golden and crisp.
- Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts.
- Ensure the fillo dough is fully thawed before use for best results.
