Easy Apple Greek Fillo Pie - Soufra

This is another delicious and super quick, Greek-inspired apple pie - it's called Soufra. It can be made with any fruits, or without, just with vanilla custard (actually that's the original recipe, I added the apples myself). I'm definitely going to try the salty version, it must be good.

We liked it best when it was warm or reheated in the oven or microwave. The custard is the perfect match for the apples and the fine fillo layers. It's tender, aromatic, delicious!

Step by step
Step 1

First of all, line with parchment a deep baking pan, 20x30cm. Cover both the base and the sides with one piece.

The custard is runny and the baking paper will hold it in place, it won't run, it won't stick to the tin etc.

If they don't fit lengthwise, cut as much as you need from each sheet and arrange in the pan.

Insert also the scraps between the sheets.

Step 9

You can use more or less apples, as you like. Also, you can put other seasonal fruits but, in my opinion, apples go best with vanilla custard.

Place the pan in the preheated oven to 200 degrees C for 15-20 minutes, until the sheets start to brown.

When the fillo sheets have browned a little in the oven, remove the pan and pour over the vanilla custard. Place back in the oven for another 25 minutes, or until the pie has browned evenly.
