Delicious! We absolutely must make this. Our favorite is Almas Pita, or slab apple pie the way Andras mother makes it in Hungary (looks very similar to your Apple Plăcintă, but in his region no one makes pies with Pumpkin (in fact, they generally only use pumpkin and winter squash for soup). I'm so curious to try this. Do you know the origin of this pie? Is pumpkin something Romanians cook with often?
It is a seasonal variation of the apple or curd cheese pie. That’s the origin. We also make pumpkin strudel and pumpkin pie with filo pastry, which is like a baklava without the syrup.
OMG! I am definitely going to try this! I have frozen Phyllo and Trader Joe's Buttered Puff Pastry. I have fresh pumpkin ready also! Yay! Thanks, Sarah!
You can also layer the filo like a baklava instead of making a strudel. Of course, skip the syrup that usually goes on top of a baklava, just dust with icing sugar. x

I love Almás Pite please Share your recipe
This looks absolutely delicious, Irina. It would make a nice change from pumpkin pie on the Thanksgiving table. Lovely inspiration, thank you.
I'm delighted you like it. Thank you so much for your lovely words XX

Definitely want to give this a try! So glad to discover your blog (thanks, Domenica!).
I like this idea and I suppose if making it a pumpkin and icing ‘spider’ will trace across it as decoration
Also like the autumnal look of your book cover and I am so tempted to buy the book!
My word, this looks sensational!
Kathy!! Thank you so much.
Whooooooa, this changes everything. Can't wait to try this!!
Great!!
What a fabulous idea! These look like the perfect autumnal pudding 😍
Many thanks, Jack.
How I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie, but this might just win me over. Sounds amazing.
I’m delighted you like the idea. It’s nice to meet you, and thank you, Frank.
I love the sound of this cake! I have some frozen phyllo pastry that might be perfect here!
