Description

Halva is a traditional candy in Greece and very popular in East Mediterranean and North African countries.

Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cups almond halva, finely crumbled
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 apple, sliced into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 7 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (8 ounce) package phyllo dough
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2. Mix halva, raisins, walnuts, apple, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
  3. 3. Microwave butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 30 seconds.
  4. 4. Stack phyllo sheets and cut into 4 strips; keep covered with a damp towel. Brush butter over 1 strip of phyllo. Place 1 teaspoon of the halva mixture at one edge.
