Milopitakia - Greek Apple Stuffed Vegan Biscuits

We are fans of Greek cuisine and, naturally, this wonderful recipe caught my eye. These biscuits are delicious, flavorful, tender, special and vegan! Try this milopitakia recipe, it's like some mini apple pies, but much easier to serve.

By the way, I think with the same dough and filling you could even improvise a more Greek-inspired apple pie.
