P.A.P.A

Do you like APPLES? well, honestly I don't. Eating apples (read: fresh apple) could be a thing with enormous effort to do, really!. Fortunately (or I should write UN-42nately??..no room for pesimistic here..sorry :p), I always happened to get a bunch of apples in my house whenever I held a ceremony or spiritual ritual here in Bali. Apples are the-must-bring-fruit in the offerings that we -Hindu's believers- bring to the shrine.
Anyhow, let's back to the apples... Despite of my less-fondness of eating fresh apples, I love to eat APLLE PIE..yes, I do LOVE it!! what a contradiction huh? As my not-too-bother habit always won in every occasions, I make this kind of apple pie with KISS method (Keep It Simple Stu*&d) hehehe.. Oh yes, before I forgot to write down what P.A.P.A means in order to satisfying some friends' curiousness...Hmmpph..P.A.P.A is stand for Phyllo Apple Pie-Almost hehehe.. Well, it's almost a pie don't u think? This kinda pie never failed in positioning me as the Domestic Goddess in my home of course hehehehe...(doooohhh....exaggerating OMG!! :p)
This P.A.P.A is EXTREMELY easy to make, all you need is 5 apples (any kind of apples is great to work on this pie but I prefer Granny Smiths), peeled, cored, cutted into 1x1x0.5 cm size, put it in a large boiling-pan, add 10 cm cinnamon stick, 1.5 cups of water, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice from 1/2 slice of lemon, put the skin altogether, 10 cloves, 4 tbsp sugar if u use Granny Smith, add 1 or 2 tbsp more), Bring all the ingredients to boiled and add 1.5 - 2 tbps corn flour mixed with 3 tbsp of water. Cook until the sauce is thick like jam texture. Set aside and cool. Hint: u could make this one day ahead.
Don't stop reading please...it's not over yet...
lightly greased 12-large muffin tin with melted butter or oil, you'll also need about 200 gr phyllo pastry, 2 heapfull butter, melted; 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, 2 tbsp caster sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon powder...(mix these together in a small mixing bowl) , brush 3 layers of phyllo with melted butter, cut into 15x15 cm rectangular size, put in each muffin holes, sprinkle with 1 tsp heapfull of walnut mixture, top with phyllo butter-brushed, fill in with the apple filling (about 1.5 tbsp), enclosed the phyllo until fully covered. Bake in 170C for 15 minutes or the phyllo looks golden brown. Served warm with your favourite ice cream and vla...Yummmbooo....
For pre-heat: brush the pie with melted butter then bake to warm it. Enjoy....
