Apple Feta Phyllo Pies

These Apple-Feta Phyllo Pies, are made by layering phyllo squares into free-form hand pies. Apples and cheese have been a favorite combination in American cooking for many years. This is nothing new. But let’s give it a Greek twist by adding apples and feta to this apple-feta pie using phyllo for the crust. These Apple-Feta Phyllo Pies, are made by layering phyllo squares into free-form hand pies. Easy and handy for ballgames, parties or picnics. I added pepito seeds for the topping (pumpkin seeds) adding an autumnal crunch to the dessert. Once you get this down, you can add any fruit, chocolate, pudding…to this free form pie.

The Many Varieties of Apples

Frieda’s was kind enough to send me four heirloom varieties of apples. Check out the names above and look for them in your local stores, a reminder how smacking- good these fresh heirloom apples can be!

I served my pies warm from the oven , um….

or serve at room temperature for more of the cheesy feta taste…
