Ingredients
- 400 g fillo dough sheets
- 4 apples
- 100 g melted butter
- 4 eggs
- 200 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 400 ml milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a deep 20 x 30 cm baking pan with parchment paper, covering the bottom and sides.
- Melt the butter. Take one fillo sheet and brush it with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush that too.
- Gently squeeze and fold the two sheets into a loose fan shape. Place them into the prepared pan.
- Repeat with the remaining fillo sheets, arranging each folded piece snugly beside the others. Trim if needed and tuck scraps into gaps.
- Wash, core, and thinly slice the apples into half-moons. Insert the apple slices between the folded fillo layers throughout the pan.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the fillo starts to turn lightly golden.
- While the pastry bakes, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Remove the pan from the oven and carefully pour the custard evenly over the partially baked fillo and apples.
- Return to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes more, or until golden and set.
- Let cool for 1 to 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Notes
Use firm apples that hold their shape during baking.Peeling the apples is optional, but peeled apples give a softer texture.Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.You can substitute apples with pears, peaches, or mixed berries.Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.Reheat in the oven for the best texture, as the fillo stays crispier than in the microwave.
