This recipe makes 6 cinnamon pie filos so they work out at around 2.5Syns each. I used Theo’s Fresh Filo Pastry Sheets, but the Syn values seem to be quite similar on other brands for the 20g sheets.

Ingredients:

• 1 Small Apple (50g) (0.75Syn)
• 25g Raisins (3.5Syns)
• 1.5tsp Mixed Spice (Cinnamon & Nutmeg)
• 1tbsp Sweetener
• Juice & rind from 1 Large Orange (2Syns)
• 2tsp Lemon Juice
• X3 20g Filo pastry sheets (9Syns)

Instructions:

1. Removing the core and stem dice up your apple into small squares.
2. Place the apple in a bowl with 2 tsp of lemon juice and stir until coated.
3. Add in 25g of dried raisins. I cut my raisins in half so they would be evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Using a fine grater shave off about a tsp of your orange rind into the mixture.
5. Then juice the orange and add to the apple mixture. The juice came out at just shy of 100ml from my large orange hence the Sun value.
6. Add the mixed spice into the bowl and stir thoroughly.
7. Microwave the mixture for about 3 minutes then set it to one side to cool down.
8. Beat your egg in a bowl an have it next to you with a brush at the ready.
9. Take out your 3 sheets of Filo pastry and cut them in half lengthways. Be sure to keep any Filo pastry you aren’t working with under a tea towel so it doesn’t dry out.
10. Place one of your pastry sheets on a flat non stick surface, I used a wooden chopping board. In the top left hand corner place 1/6 of your apple mixture onto the filo, make a triangular shape leaving a small gap at the edges of the pastry.
11. Then take the bottom of the sheet and fold the whole thing in half lengthways.
12. Coat the entire top of the pastry with an egg wash and then begin folding your pastry in triangles to make the shame of a samosa. Continue to egg wash the pastry as you fold to make sure it sticks together.
13. Egg wash the whole outside and then place on a non stick baking tray.
14. Cook for 10-15minutes at 180degrees then turn them over, egg wash them again and cook for a further 10-15minutes until crispy.

They will be extremely hot once cooked so I would recommend leaving them to cool slightly before eating.

Then serve and enjoy, I like mine with a spoonful of fat free Fromage frais and an extra sprinkling of cinnamon.
