Ingredients
  • 4 sheets filo pastry
  • 25g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbs caster sugar
  • Icing sugar, to decorate
  • Double cream, to serve
  • Strawberry and apple filling
  • 4 large green apples
  • 25g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 250g punnet strawberries, quartered

  1. Grease a six-hole Texas muffin pan (3/4-cup capacity).
  2. Place a sheet of filo on a bench. Brush with butter and sprinkle with a teaspoon of sugar. Top with another sheet  of filo. Repeat layering with remaining filo, butter and sugar. Cut into six equal portions. Press portions into prepared pan holes. 
  3. Cook in a hot oven (200C) for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool tart cases in pan.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until apples are almost soft. Add strawberries. Cook, stirring, for a further  5 minutes, or until apples and strawberries are both soft. 
  5. Spoon warm filling into pastry cases. Dust with sifted icing sugar. Serve with cream.
