Apple Pie Baklawa

An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Especially when a few are tucked into the most beautiful-layered slice of baklawa… I think that’s how the saying goes.

I’m so excited to start a new series on Moribyan Kitchen. Fall was always my least favorite season. My allergies acted up, my skin always got so dry, and all I did was focus on the bad. But this year I’m embracing all the autumnal vibes and I’m falling in love with this time of the year. What better way than with food. Tis the season of everything pumpkin spice, gourds, and everything nice.

Starting today and up until Thanksgiving week, Moribyan Kitchen will be sharing one recipe every week that is Fall-inspired but fused with North African traditional recipes, ingredients, and/or flavor profiles. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do creating and eating it. First up is Apple Pie Baklawa!

Baklawa makes the perfect vehicle to fuse with apple pie. Both baklawa and apple pie have notes of cinnamon and all the spices we know and love in this season. Apple pie is layers of thinly sliced apples so why not turn those layers into phyllo dough layers. Not straying too far from the classic but still reinventing it.
