Ingredients

7 sheets filo pastry
4 golden delicious apples, unpeeled, quartered, cored
2 tablespoons demerara sugar

Preparation method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C for fan-forced. Lightly spray a large, round baking tray with cooking oil spray.

2. Spray a sheet of filo with cooking oil spray and fold three-quarters of way over to form a 28cm square. Spray with cooking oil. Repeat with remaining pastry and layer on top of each other, alternating folded sides so thickness remains even. Cut out a 27cm circle and place on prepared tray.

3. Cut apples into 5mm slices. Arrange on pastry in overlapping circles, starting from outside edge. Sprinkle with sugar.

4. Bake for 50 minutes, until apples are tender and golden. Serve warm.
