• Apple Raisin Rolls:
  Defrost phyllo pastry sheets a couple of hours before planning to make the dish. Preheat oven to 400ºC. Peel and slice apple in to 1 inch pieces. Place a small sauce pan on medium heat. Add in apples, raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon and water. Cook the mixture until most of the water has evaporated, creating a nice thick concoction. Pull out one phyllo pastry sheet and lightly brush olive oil over top, then lay a second piece of the pastry sheet on top, again brush lightly with olive oil (for more crunch, feel free to layer on another sheet of phyllo). Cut the pastry sheets in to 6 cm strips. Put a tablespoon of the apple mixture in the middle and fold the bottom towards the right edge of the strip forming a triangle. Fold the triangle up and then over again until it completely rolls up the entire strip. Set aside. Once all apple raisin rolls are done, place on baking sheet and in the oven for 10 mins, until the outside of the rolls are slightly browned. Remove from oven, let cool and serve with cinnamon, sugar and honey drizzled on top along with some vanilla ice cream.
