For best results, use high-quality apples with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. Plumping the raisins and currants ensures they are juicy and don't dry out during baking. Don't be afraid to be generous with the butter between the phyllo layers – this is what creates the signature flakiness. If the phyllo dough tears, don't worry! Just patch it up with another piece and brush with butter. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra-indulgent treat.
