Description:
A light tart fruit filled and can be enjoyed cold or warm.
Main ingredients:
Fruit, Sugar, Pastry
Ingredients:
3 large sheets filo pastry
2 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp apricot jam
6 ripe apricots, stoned and roughly sliced
85g raspberries
2 tsp caster sugar
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas mark 6.
Let the filo pastry come to room temperature for 10 minutes before use.
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and put in the oven.
Brush each sheet of filo with melted butter then layer one on top of each other, then fold in half so there will be a smaller rectangle, 6 layers thick.
Fold in the edges of the pastry base to make a 2cm border, then spread the apricot jam inside the border.
Carefully slide the pastry base on to the hot baking tray and bake for 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven, arrange the apricots over and brush with any leftover melted butter.
Bake for another 10 minutes, then scatter on berries and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for a final 10 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
