Step 3
Preheat oven to 180'c fan.
Step 4
To make the pie, a round metal cake tin is best for this, a springform even better, grease it with melted butter with a pastry brush, then lay a 1st sheet of Filo pastry in the tin, turn tin 90' & lay 2nd sheet on top, turn tin another 90' & lay the next one & the same for the last sheet so all sheets are at equal angle.
Step 5
Pour cooled pie filling in the tin & smooth out, then fold excess pastry sheets into to the middle to form the top of the pie, then brush the top with melted butter using a pastry brush.
Step 6
Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 mins or until the Filo pastry is a nice golden brown.
