Description

Take the flavours of apple pie and wrap them into a cute and neat little package. Serve these healthier apple-filled filo pastry cigars with a ricotta dip.

Method

Step 1 of 5

Combine apple, 1½ tsp cinnamon, 1½ tbs honey, ½ tsp vanilla and lemon juice in a large frying pan and heat over medium heat. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until liquid has evaporated and apple is tender. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 2 of 5

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 3 of 5

Cover pastry with a damp tea towel to prevent it drying out. Place 1 pastry sheet on a flat surface and spray with oil. Top with another sheet and spray with oil. Fold stack in half to form an 18 x 24cm rectangle. Place one-eighth of the apple mixture along 1 short end. Brush opposite end with a little egg. Starting at end with apple mixture, roll up pastry, folding in sides to enclose filling. Place on tray. Brush with a little egg. Repeat with remaining pastry, apple mixture and egg. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and heated through.

Step 4 of 5

Meanwhile, combine ricotta and remaining cinnamon, honey and vanilla in a small bowl.

Step 5 of 5

Lightly dust apple pie cigars with extra cinnamon. Serve with ricotta dip.
