Quick & Different ‘Apple Pie’

Directions:

• 1Preheat your oven to 180°C, fan forced.
• 2Add the apples, lemon juice and zest, caster sugar, water and cinnamon to a small pot on medium heat. Cook for 5–10 minutes or until the apples have broken down.
• 3Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• 4Lay one sheet of filo down on a clean bench. Paint the melted margarine and lay another sheet on top, repeat this until 3 sheets of pastry are stacked.
• 5Roughly scatter ¼ cup of apple mixture unevenly across the pastry. Then bunch all together, pinching the open spots of filo pastry inward, and pushing the long sides of the pastry in toward each other. Then curl one end of the the pastry around to the other so it's effectively all bunched together tightly.* Place in a circular cake tin. Repeat with more filo sheets and apple mixture until the tin is filled with bunched up pastry.
• 6Brush with any remaining margarine, sprinkle with smashed up pistachios and raw sugar.
• 7Bake at 180°C for 20–30 minutes or until the pastry is crispy.
• 8Sprinkle with rose petals to serve.
