So easy to make, and the taste really fantastic.
Oriental pie with an Arabic name, baqlawa, topped with melted honey and lemon juice, is best known as Greek and Turkish, and is a favorite in our region. Tasting it with various fillings, we also topped it with almonds instead of the usual walnuts.
We were recently served with baklava on a flight to the exotic east. Triple pleasant surprise, because instead of walnuts they were stuffed with pine nuts and smelled of oranges. You don't have to travel for an unforgettable experience…
And the "best" apple pie is? This is not a prize question, but an introduction to a layered apple cake, which, we dared to think, could surpass its "nut" predecessor - baklava and become the universal "best" apple miracle.
So far you have put everything in baklava and it has always been excellent, but will baklava tolerate poppy and will poppy love baklava? You won’t know until you try it, and since some of us have been convinced of this many times already, here’s the recipe.
