Ingredients
Apple, granny smith, unpeeled, fresh
3 medium, peeled, cored, cut into 2cm cubes
Brown sugar
2 tbs
Sultanas
2 tbs
Lemon juice
1 tbs
Ground cinnamon
½ tsp, plus extra to dust
Icing sugar
2 tsp
Filo pastry
4½ sheet(s), fresh
Oil spray
5 x 3 second spray(s)
Instructions
1
Place the apple, sultanas, brown sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 10 minutes or until the apple is tender but still hold its shape. Set aside to cool.
2
Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray 6 holes in a 12 hole (1/3 cup) muffin tin with oil.
3
Lightly spray 1 sheet of pastry with oil. Cut crossways into quarters. Cut each piece in half to make 8 rectangles. Repeat with remaining pastry to make 36 rectangles in total. Set aside 12 rectangles.
4
Layer 4 rectangles, slightly overlapping, to form a star shape. Press into 1 muffin hole. Repeat to make another 5 cases. Divide the apple mixture between the cases.
5
Layer 2 of the reserved rectangles on each pie to cover the filling and scrunch slightly to make the pie tops. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and golden.
6
Serve warm dusted with icing sugar.
