Apple, Pear, and Mincemeat Tart

M liked the tart I made for her mum’s birthday so much that she requested it for her birthday too. This time I mixed it up by adding pears too.

Ingredients:

3 apples

oil

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

2 pears

phyllo (also spelled filo) dough

½ jar mincemeat

Instructions:

1. Wash and slice the apples. You can also peel them if you prefer.

2. Fry them lightly in oil with the sugar and cinnamon, until a touch golden and caramelised.

3. Oil an oven-safe dish. Place two sheets of filo dough in it as the bottom.

4. Wash and chop the pears. Mix the apples, pears, and mincemeat on top of the dough. I used several layers of fruit and filo to make it a little nicer.

5. Top with a piece of dough and fold it all up like a parcel.

6. Bake at 200 C for about 20-25 minutes.
