This was pretty easy to make and takes around an hour and a half. The apple is cooked with a little butter, sugar, ginger and cinnamon. Personally, I think that it needs a little more sugar and less spice although I'm sure it would have helped if I hadn't forgotten one of the apples! (doesn't count as changing the recipe if it's not deliberate, right?)
The pastry is a little tricky to work with. Filo tears so easily but there are so many layers that the odd rip in a single sheet doesn't matter too much. I did get a tear all the way through when wrapping it up and attempted to patch it up with a little extra pastry. I think it worked actually. I still had another major rip though and a smaller but very long tear all around the back edge at the bottom (hense why the back isn't in the photo!). If you can make this without a single tear then tell me about it because you are obviously a filo god!
As for the baking, the recipe says 20 minutes. the pastry was cooked but I think it needed another couple of minutes. Other than that, highly recommended! Autumnal yummies!
