Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Karen Mintzias 1 lb Commercial filo sheets

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

--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
1 c Powdered sugar

*Note- 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 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.
