• Take a circular oven-proof dish or springform tin, approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter. Lay one sheet of filo across the dish, so that one side and the base is covered, and the rest hangs over the other side. Brush well with melted butter, then lay another sheet of filo in a similar way, at ninety degrees to the first. Repeat with the other two, so that there's an overhang in each of four directions. This will be used to cover the filling.
• Place the filling in the dish, on top of the pastry. Bring one of the ends of the pastry over the filling. Brush with butter, fold another over and repeat until all four ends are covering the top of the pie. Brush the top with butter and pop in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
• Let sit for 5 minutes before serving, to prevent it breaking up.
