Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Peel, core then dice the apple into very small pieces (or grate it with a coarse cheese-grater).
- Mix the mincemeat and apple. Add a spoonful of brandy if the mincemeat is not boozy.
- Lay one sheet of filo pastry on top of a cold work surface and brush it with the melted butter.
- Lay another sheet on top, then cut this into four equal sized rectangles.
- Spoon some mincemeat mixture along one side of each square, then fold in the ends and roll them up tightly. Place them on the baking tray.
- Repeat with the remaining 2 sheets of filo.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden.
- Let them cool a bit, then dust them the cinnamon mixed with icing sugar.
