Greek MILOPITAKIA with phyllo apples raisins walnuts

Today a Greek milopitakia sweet treat with phyllo apples raisins walnuts delicious strudel rolls!!

They are simple, genuine, and homemade treats, prepared with little sugar (honestly, I would add a bit more) and we can vary them if we prefer to use pine nuts instead of walnut kernels, always keeping the presence of raisins which should first be soaked in a bit of brandy or rum.

The Greek cuisine is fantastic, full of great recipes that I cooked many years ago in a tavern and a restaurant of Greek friends and it was a wonderful period of which I keep beautiful memories and so much affection!

If you love the recipes of Greek cuisine I leave you the collection that I have cooked on the blog over the years.

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE GREEK MILOPITAKIA RECIPE WITH PHYLLO APPLES RAISINS WALNUTS

  • 1) First, I soak the raisins in brandy or rum for about 15 minutes.

    2) I wash and peel the apples, cutting them into small pieces and place them in a pan with the melted butter.

    3) I also add the brown sugar and let the fruit wilt and season over moderate heat.

    4) I chop the walnut kernels and also the softened raisins after soaking in the liquor.

    5) I put everything in the pan with the apples and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.

    6) I melt some butter and take a brush to then brush the phyllo sheets as I prepare the milopitakia rolls.

    7) I divide each phyllo sheet into two parts and put a little apple strudel filling on one side, buttering the other sides a bit and rolling, inserting the side edges to close and seal the sweet filled rolls well.

    ATTENTION … PHYLLO DOUGH DRIES IN A NANOSECOND WHEN IN CONTACT WITH AIR, SO PROTECT THE SHEETS WITH A CLOTH AS WE GO TO PREPARE THESE SWEETS.

    8) I neatly arrange the milopitakia rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly brush the milopitakia rolls, then place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

    9) I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to bring it to the right temperature and at the appropriate time, I bake the tray, cooking the Greek kitchen apple rolls milopitakia for about 25/30 minutes.

    10) Once cooked, I let them cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar and …

    Enjoy your meal!

I don’t particularly like cinnamon so dose it to your liking, adding a pinch even before tasting them!
