5 cooking apples

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp spoon plain flour

4 sheets filo pastry

50g butter

140g caster sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Icing sugar to garnish

Mint leaves to garnish

Cream to serve

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Cut the apples into small cubes and place in a bowl of lemon water to keep fresh.

Dust your work surface with a little flour and lay out your pastry sheets.

Melt your butter in a saucepan and brush over the pastry sheets.

Combine your apple slices with the caster sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and spoon onto one side of the pastry.

Roll the other side of the pastry over like a swiss roll. Do this until all the apple is used up.

Brush the opening with a little butter and place on your prepared baking tray.

Place in the oven for 20 minutes and allow to cool before cutting into slices.

Garnish with a little icing sugar and mint leaves and serve with the cream.
