[Cool Cook Thursday] - (Desserts) - Quick apple, almond & coconut tart Ingredients 4 sheets fresh filo pastry Olive oil spray 2 tbs apricot jam or other fruit jam 2 Granny Smith apples 1 egg white 2 tbs icing sugar 1/2 cup (40gms) flaked almonds 1/3 cup (25gms) shredded coconut Method Preheat oven to 200C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Spray 1 filo sheet with olive oil, top with another sheet, and spray again. Fold into quarters to form one long rectangle. Repeat with remaining filo. Spray lightly with oil and spread with jam. Peel, core and quarter apples, then cut into very thin slices (a mandoline is ideal). Arrange slices so they are overlapping down the centre of the pastry. Bake for 5 minutes until apple is just tender. Whisk eggwhite until frothy. Whisk in sugar, then toss with nuts and coconut. Remove almonds and coconut from eggwhite mixture and scatter over tarts. Discard any excess eggwhite. Place tarts on the tray and bake for 6-8 minutes until pastry and almonds are golden. (Cover the tart edges with foil if browning too quickly.) Cut into slices and serve warm.
