      Title: Milopita (Greek Apple Pastry)
 Categories: Desserts, Greek
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      1 lb Commercial filo sheets

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      8    Apples *
    1/2 c  Sugar
    1/2 ts Cinnamon
    1/2 ts Allspice
      1 tb Corn starch
    1/4 c  Currants or raisins
    1/2 c  Walnuts
    1/2 c  Butter; melted

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
      1 c  Powdered sugar
 
  * Apples should be cored, peeled and chopped.  If desired, 2 cups
  canned apples (drained) may be substituted.
  
  Defrost frozen filo to room temperature, 2 to 4 hours.  Mix filling
  in a bowl tossing ingredients with a spoon.  Set aside.

  Lay 5 sheets filo flat, one on top of each other, with a little
  melted butter brushed between the sheets.  Spread 1 cup of filling
  along one end. Roll filo over the apple filling so you will have a
  long filled tube. Fold side edges over 1/2" so filling won't fall
  out.  Continue rolling.

  Place in a buttered baking pan or cookie sheet.  Brush tops
  generously with melted butter.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
  Sift powdered sugar over tops and sides as soon as it is taken out
  of the oven and while still hot.  When cool, cut into 2" pieces and
  serve.
