How to make
Grate the pumpkin and apple into a bowl and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Leave it for 5-10 minutes to release a little juice.
Pour almost all of the oil and stir the pumpkin stuffing. With the remaining oil, grease the bottom and sides of a round baking pan with a diameter of 28 cm.
Spread the filo pastry sheets on a slightly damp cloth to prevent them from drying out. Spread evenly from the stuffing and roll them up two at a time.
Arrange them in a snail shape in the baking pan and if desired spread them with oil on top if you have any left over.
Bake the pumpkin without walnuts at 360°F (180°C) in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
When cool, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
It's a classic tikvenik, everyone's favorite and even though it lacks walnuts, it's wonderful.
You can always add something from you, for example some raisins or cinnamon, sliced almonds or other nuts.
Enjoy!
