Serbian Apple Peta Recipes

SERBIAN APPLE PETA

Serbian Apple Peta image

I'm putting this up on food.com so I can make it at some point. My mother (who was Slovenian) never made this, although my friend Margie's mother (who was Croatian) told me this is a popular dessert all over the Balkans due to the abundance of apple trees. This is not exactly Margie's ma's recipe, but I think it's close. It's pita or peta, but it's not bread, it's more of an apple pie. This version is adapted from the Dexter Cider Mill Apple Cookbook.

Divide into 2 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 portion to fit a 9x13 pan. Roll out other portion for top.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the filling by mixing the apples, 3/ cups of sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, and toss lightly to coat.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

phyllo dough
6 medium eggs
1/2 cup butter
12 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded
48 ounces large curd cottage cheese

Steps:

Thaw phyllo dough according to package directions. Prepare filling ingredients before removing from package.
To prepare filling, mix eggs and all three cheeses.
Melt butter.
Remove dough from package, placing it on a clean cloth. Cover with a lightly moistened cloth. Everytime you remove sheets of dough, replace the top covering cloth so that your dough does not dry out.
Spread some butter on pan. Place two sheets of dough on yet another cloth. Sprinkle butter on the sheets. Put two more sheets on top of it; sprinkle with butter again. Add fifth sheet of dough.
At one end of sheets (length wise), about 3 inches from the long edge, place several scoops of the mixture in a log shape. Do not place cheese all the way to the sides; leave a couple inches bare. Roll up. Tucking side edges under the roll, place roll in pan, seam side down. Put more butter on top.
Repeat process for more rolls. It works best if pan is filled with rolls. I use a pan typically used for single layer cakes.
Bake at 375 degrees for anywhere from 30 - 60 min, until golden brown.
Let them rest for a little before cutting.
