Cinnamon and apple stacks

This recipe is a quick and easy variation of apple pie.

Cinnamon and apple stacks
serves 4

6 large sheets filo pastry
25g butter, melted
750-800g canned apple filling
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp light brown soft sugar
icing sugar for dusting
double cream (optional)

Preheat the oven to 180c/gas 4. Using a 9cm cutter, cut out 48 circles of pastry. Its easier if you lay all the sheets on top of each other, cut 8 circles and separate them out. Arrange on 2 baking sheets and brush lightly with butter. Bake in batches for 1-2 mins until golden and crisp.

Gently heat the apple filling, spices and sugar until the sugar dissolves and the apples hot.

Put 3 sheets of filo circles on each serving plate; spoon over some apple filling. Continue stacking twice more, finishing with a layer of filo. Dust with icing sugar and serve with cream.
