About 4 weeks ago I ran off to Brazil for the quickest visit of all time. My family while not crazy (but understanding) about the duration of the visit made sure to give me the most beautiful send off lunch, with the obligatory amazing piece of Pork complete with crispy skin and an Apple dessert. The Apple dessert was that pretty baklava style delight above prepared by my very talented aunt. She swears there’s no recipe… Still I will relay what she told me.
She said and I paraphrase here, OK?
Layer Filo dough with Butter on the bottom of the pan, put in sliced apples and anything yummy you can find in the house (that would go with apples, of course), then add the top layers of Filo (counted 6 top layers), carefully cut out the diamond pattern and bake till golden ( I guess at 350?!?)
That’s it for today my lovelies, I have a lot share with you guys still, but I also have to get to work!
ps: I am IN LOVE with my grandmother’s plastic Table Cloth!!!
EDIT:
My aunt spills the beans!
OK! I have to tell you something! There are a couple of secret ingredients in the filling… Beside apple slices, there is sugar & cinnamon, nuts, raisins, dried apricots and some bread crumbs (to keep things dry!). Simple, easy and tasteful!
