👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round baking dish (approx. 26-28 cm diameter).
💡 Consigli Professionali: A well-greased dish prevents sticking. - 2
In a large bowl, combine the grated apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the apples to release some juice.

Carefully unroll the phyllo dough. Keep the sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking dish, letting the excess hang over the sides. Brush it lightly with melted butter and a little oil. Repeat with another sheet, brushing each layer.

💡 Consigli Professionali: Drain excess liquid from the apple mixture if it seems too wet. - 6
Cover the filling with the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each layer with butter and oil. Fold the overhanging edges of the bottom layers over the top to seal the burek.
