Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 20cm x 30cm (base measurement) slice pan and line with baking paper. Place the apple in a bowl. Add lemon juice and sugar and toss to combine.
Step 2
Place the pastry on a clean work surface and cover with a damp tea towel. Starting from 1 short end, fold up 1 pastry sheet to make an accordion pleat. Place in the pan and arrange some apple slices along the pastry. Continue folding and layering with the remaining pastry sheets and apple. Place pan on a baking tray and bake for 10 mins or until crisp. Pour the butter over the pastry mixture. Bake for 10 mins or until golden.
Step 3
Whisk the milk, egg and extra sugar in a jug. Pour over the pastry mixture in the dish. Bake for a further 30-35 mins or until the filling is set and pastry is golden and puffed. Set aside to cool.
Step 4
Meanwhile, to make the apple syrup, combine the honey, apple juice, lemon juice and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-6 mins or until the syrup thickens. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
Drizzle the syrup over the cake. Cut into pieces and serve immediately.
Recipe tip
COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Find me: Grab the filo from the chilled section – it’s easier to fold than frozen filo.
Cook it right: For clear, shiny apple syrup, it’s best to use clear apple juice rather than cloudy.
