Interesting Blog

I love reading blogs. Thre is just an amazing array of thoughts, ideas, talents, and weirdness out here on the internet.

  As I was looking today I came across this blog,Little Foodies. It is written by a mom who wants her kids to have diverse and sophisticated palates so she is traveling the world by food!
This is an exerpt from her blog,”For the next year we are going to learn about different countries around the world and their foods (mainly from our own kitchen, though if we can sneak in a few holidays to taste the real thing then we will). We started with Morocco, where to next… Why are we doing this, you may ask. Because we want our children to be aware of other cultures and to have adventurous palates.

What a great idea! I thought that it might be fun to do the same. This week I think we will do Greek food. I found this dessert on Recipe Source

MILOPITA ( GREEK APPLE PASTRY )
serves 8

1 lb Commercial filo (phyllo) 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.
Defrost frozen filo to room temperature, 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
with melted butter. Bake at 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.
