Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until tender and translucent, roughly 4 minutes.

To the skillet add the ground beef, cayenne pepper, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, and the lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine, and cook until the beef is browned, around 10 minutes.

Once browned, add the sliced almonds and freshly chopped parsley to the ground beef mixture. Stir well and cook for an additional 3 minutes, then remove from heat to cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Gradually fold the egg mixture into the cooled beef mixture, stirring until well combined.

Brush a sheet of phyllo pastry lightly with olive oil, place another sheet on top and repeat the process until all eight sheets are layered and oiled. Gently place the layered phyllo pastry in an 8-inch pie plate.

Pour the beef mixture into the layered phyllo dough and fold the edges over the top.

Brush the top of the phyllo pie with the remaining olive oil.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the filling is set, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.

Once baked, dust the top of the pie with confectioners' sugar and the remaining cinnamon before serving it hot, sliced into wedges.
