Apple Turnovers

Makes 6
85 cals each

1lb/480g Bramley apples
1 level tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 level tsp ground nutmeg
2 level tsp Demerara sugar
1oz/25g plump sultanas
2 sheets filo pastry
1 egg

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Peel, core and chop the apples and place in a pan with the cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar and sultanas. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10mins. Cut each pastry sheet into 3 long strips. Beat the egg. Brush a strip with a little egg and place some apple at one end and fold up to form a triangle. Keep on folding until the whole pastry strip is used. Repeat, making 6 turnovers in total. Brush the surface of the pastries with the remaining beaten egg and bake on a non-stick baking sheet for 20mins, or until crisp and golden. Serve warm.

Filo pastry is an ideal low-fat alternative to shortcrust or puff pastry. Cover the sheets with a damp cloth when preparing the turnovers to stop the pastry drying out.
