Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

1 lb Commercial filo sheets

--FILLING--

8 Apples*

1/2 c Sugar

1/2 t Cinnamon

1/2 t Allspice

1 T Cornstarch

1/4 c Currants or raisins

1/2 c Walnuts

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.

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

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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
