3. Lubricate with vegetable oil. You should get at least 3 layers.

4. Prepare the filling. Pass all the ingredients through a meat grinder but do not mix them. Fry the carrots, onions, celery, garlic, and apple in a frying pan one by one. Add tomatoes, wine, salt, spices and herbs. Simmer for 45 minutes.

5. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil, add the bechamel, a layer of dough, half of the stew, and a third of the mozzarella.

6. Repeat the last step again. Top with the last layer of dough, sauce, remaining mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Drizzle with oil for a beautiful crust.

7. Bake at 180 degrees for 25 minutes.
