Apple Rose Soufra

There is something very beautiful about watching this delicious Apple Rose Soufra come to life. It’s a wonderful dessert that can be made with fresh red apples or green apples, and has grown to become one of our family’s favourite sweet versions of the Fillo Crinkle Pie. It is subtly sweet and delicate in flavour, the perfect sweet treat for morning or afternoon tea.

Baklava Apple Pies

Baklava Apple Pies

Individual Baklava Apple Pies are a wonderful individual dessert size pie. They come together by lining layers of Fillo Pastry into the holes of a muffin tin. It’s a great technique to use when you want to create an individual pie serving, and can be used to make both sweet pies and savoury pies. We’ve filled these pies with spiced apples, almonds and walnuts, and topped them with a honey and cinnamon syrup.
