    1       lb           Commercial filo 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.  If desired, 2 cups
   canned apples (drained) may be substituted.
   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.
