Ingredients: |
|
Filo pastry (approx. 48 x 25 cm) |
1 sheet |
Red apple |
2-3 |
Lemon |
1 half |
Sweetener |
4 tbsp |
Cinnamon |
1 tsp |
No added sugar apricot jam |
2 tbsp |
|
|
To prepare for the tart moulds: |
|
Low fat butter |
20g |
Flour |
20g |
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees.
- Defrost filo pastry.
- Spread the melted butter evenly on to the tart moulds and sprinkle with flour.
Method:
- Cut apples in half, remove the core and thinly slice the apples.
- Fill a microwave-save bowl with water and add lemon juice by squeezing the lemon. Place the apple slices into the water and microwave for ~3 minutes until soft.
- Strain out the apple slices.
- Spread out the filo pastry and cut into 6 even strips (approx. 25 x 6 cm).
- On each strip of filo pastry, spread a thin layer of apricot jam. Starting from one end, place apple slices on the top half of the filo pastry (with the curve side facing out), slightly overlapping side-by-side, until reaching to the other end of the pastry.
- Sprinkle lightly the cinnamon & sweetener onto the apples (you can skip this step if you’re not using cinnamon).
- Fold the bottom half of the filo pastry up so the apple slices are enclosed in the filo pastry.
- Roll up the apple slices from one end to form a rose shape.
- Place the apple roses into the prepared tart moulds and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until golden.
