Ingredients

  • 2 sheets phyllo pastry
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 medium cooking apples
  • 4 tablespoons superfine sugar
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar, to sprinkle

Method

  • Set the oven to 350 degrees F. You will need a 12-cup mini muffin pan.
  • Cut the filo pastry into squares about 2 inches and brush them with melted butter.
  • Lay two squares together, one on top of the other, and press them gently into the mini muffin pan to make little tartlet cases.
  • Bake for 3-4 minutes until crisp and golden.
  • Leave them to cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, peel the apples and cut out the cores.
  • Chop the apples into small pieces.
  • Cook them gently into a small saucepan with a spoonful of water for about 5 minutes until they are soft and mushy.
  • Take the pan off the heat and leave them to cool.
  • Mash the apples with a fork and stir in the superfine sugar.
  • Put a spoonful of apple into each filo case; give them sprinkling of confectioners' sugar and serve at once.
