Prep 30 mins + cooling time | Cook 60 mins | Makes 10

1.5 kg Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
¹⁄₃ cup caster sugar
¹⁄₂ tps ground cinnamon
¹⁄₄ cup sultanas
10 sheets fresh filo pastry
125g butter, melted, for brushing
Icing sugar, for dusting
Vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream, to serve

Step 1 Combine apples, sugar and cinnamon in a large saucepan, cover and bring to the boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until very tender. Stir in sultanas. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for 30 minutes.

Step 2 Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Grease 10 holes of a cup capacity muffin pan with melted butter.

Step 3 Place filo sheets onto a clean work surface and cover with a damp tea-towel. Working with 1 filo sheet at a time, brush with butter then fold into quarters, brushing with butter before each fold. Gently ease into muffin pan to form a pastry case. Repeat using remaing filo. Spoon cooled apple in filo cases. Bake for 20-25 minutes until filo is golden. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Dust with icing sugar and serve with vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream.
