Apple & Bramble Pastries
Ingredients
- A couple of handfuls of brambles
- 2 big/4 small apples chopped into small dice and tossed in a little lemon juice
- 100g cream cheese

- Plenty melted butter
- Icing sugar
Method
- Heat the oven to about 190°C
- Mix the brambles, apples, cheese and sugar.
- Make 3 layers of filo with melted butter in between each layer. Cut in half so you've 2 rectangles.
- Put a decent spoonful of the fruit mix in the top corner of each rectangle and keep folding diagonally. They'll end up as little triangular pastries.
- Do this twice again so you've a half dozen pastries.
- Place on greaseproof paper, brush with butter and dust with icing sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes till golden, then cool on a rack.
