How to Make Portokalopita Greek Sweet Orange Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- **Prepare the Filo:** Lay out filo pastry sheets on a clean surface, separating and allowing them to dry for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight). Once dry, crumble the filo sheets into a large bowl.
- **Make the Batter:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil and 4 large eggs until light and frothy.
- Add 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder to the wet ingredients. Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- Gently fold in the crumbled filo pastry until evenly distributed.
- **Bake the Pie:** Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Prepare the Syrup (while the pie bakes):** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, and 1 cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- **Cool and Serve:** Let the pie cool completely before pouring the warm syrup evenly over the top. Once the syrup is absorbed, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy warm or cold, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
