Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown ground lamb, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in allspice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toast for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add pomegranate molasses and parsley.
Step 3
Remove from heat and fold in toasted pine nuts. Let cool for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Brush a phyllo sheet lightly with oil, layer a second sheet on top, brush again. Place 2 tbsp lamb filling on the bottom third.
Step 5
Fold the left and right corners toward the center, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 4 pies.
Step 6
Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with oil. Bake at 400°F for 12 minutes until golden and crispy.
