Method

  1. 1 Marinate sliced apples with sugar, cognac, vanilla, and lemon juice for 2 hours.
  2. 2 Melt the butter and brush each filo sheet with it, arranging four sheets to form the base of the mold.
  3. 3 Arrange the drained apples in the center and reserve the marinade for later.
  4. 4 Crumple the remaining filo leaves into loose folds and spread them over the surface; these folds will crack and become crispy like flower petals when baked.
  5. 5 Brush with butter again, bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes, then drizzle with marinade and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 50 min

    Instead of step 5: spray a thin layer of oil onto the sides of the mold, use a 195-degree hot air oven for 20 minutes, rotating the tray at minute 10. The strong airflow shortens the time by about one-third compared to a conventional oven and browns the surface faster.
