Instructions
- Place the apples, berries, water, sugar and spices in a small pot and bring to boil.
- Boil for 10 minutes until the apples are soft and water has started to evaporate.
- Add the cornstarch by making a paste with a little hot water and gently swirl it into the apple and berry mixture.
- Cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Gently remove the phyllo pastry sheets from the packaging and lay them down on a damp kitchen cloth.
- Layer 4 sheets of phyllo pastry, dab each layer with coconut oil and stack them on top of one another. Cut the lot into small squares (that would fit into a muffin tin.)
- Gently move the phyllo squares into the muffin tins, making a parcel for the filling.
- Scoop the cooked apple mixture into the raw phyllo pastry cups – dab the edges of the pastry with more coconut oil.
- Bake for 10 – 15 minutes until the pastry is nice and golden. Leave to cool down in the muffin tins before carefully removing the pastry cups. Serve with fresh cherries and vanilla ice cream.
