Apple Pastille Samosa

IMG_7591e

I learn about this recipe during the Panasonic Cooking Workshop a couple of weeks back. Beside the Farmer Pie, this is another recipe I really like.

The apple pastille is straightforward yet sophisticated, and is the perfect combination of crispy tangy fresh green apples underpinned by subtle flavours of woody cinnamon and gentle sweetness from sultanas. It makes a wonder dessert and especially good when paired with ice cream and some chopped fruits.

Recipe: Apple Pastille
Makes: 8 samosa apple pastille

Ingredients:
• 3 green apples

5. Cut 8 pieces of spring roll skin into half to make rectangular strips using a knife or scissor. Stack the sheets and cover them with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying.

6. Peel two sheets gently, be careful not to tear them. Cover the rest with a damp cloth. Brush a little melted butter on to the sheet, and put the 2nd piece on top of 1st piece, covering 1/4 of the 1st sheet and brush a little melted butter on the 2nd sheet too.

7. Place two tablespoons of apple filling in the bottom right corner of the pastry strip. Fold the pastry into a triangle to begin enclosing the filling. Continue folding triangles and brush a little melted butter on final edge to seal
