Working with one sheet of filo at a time, brush the sheet with the melted cinnamon-spiced ghee then, start at one end and gather the filo to create folds. Arrange it on top of the filling, then repeat this with the remaining sheets until the top of the pie is covered. Brush with more ghee and spoon over the pine nuts.
