Apple and cinnamon is wonderful flavour combination that just shouts Christmas to me. These festive tartlets make a tasty party snack or dessert, and are lower in calories, fat and sugar than traditional mince pies.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon reduced-fat spread, melted
80g sultanas
1 medium cooking apple, peeled, cored and finely diced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons golden syrup
1 tablespoon hot water
4 sheets fresh or frozen filo pastry
Sprinkle of icing sugar

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC/Fan 140ºC. Lightly grease a muffin tin with a small amount of reduced-fat spread.
Mix the sultanas and apple together in a bowl with the cinnamon, golden syrup and hot water. Leave to one side.
Dab some reduced-fat spread over a sheet of filo pastry. Fold the short ends into the middle so that they are overlapping to form a rectangular shape three pastry layers thick. Cut into two roughly equal 10cm squares.
Place each square into a well of the tin. Repeat with the remaining sheets, giving you eight pastry shells.
Divide the fruit mixture evenly between the pastry shells. Crinkle the edges of the pastry up a little to hold the mixture in place.
Bake in the oven for 7–8 minutes until the pastry has crisped.
Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve warm or cold as preferred.
