SERBIAN APPLE PETA
I'm putting this up on food.com so I can make it at some point. My mother (who was Slovenian) never made this, although my friend Margie's mother (who was Croatian) told me this is a popular dessert all over the Balkans due to the abundance of apple trees. This is not exactly Margie's ma's recipe, but I think it's close. It's pita or peta, but it's not bread, it's more of an apple pie. This version is adapted from the Dexter Cider Mill Apple Cookbook.

Steps:
- Prepare the pastry by combining the flour and butter in a bowl; mix using your fingers. Add the 3 tablespoons of sugar, egg yolks, and sour cream and mix to form a stiff dough. Divide into 2 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 portion to fit a 9x13 pan. Roll out other portion for top.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the filling by mixing the apples, 3/ cups of sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, and toss lightly to coat.
- Spoon filling into the pastry lined pan, top with remaining pastry, and seal and flute edges. Prick top crust with a fork and sprinkle with walnuts.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cool. Cut into squares.
