Sinterklaas treat: Saint Nicholas' 'bag' (filo pastry bag with apples & cinnamon)

Ingredients
5 sheets of filo pastry (22 1/2 grams per sheet) |
1 small Elstar apple |
1 handful of sultanas |
cinnamon |
honey (approx. 2 tsp.) |
oil (approx. 1 tbsp.) |
Preparation
What will be in St Nicholas' bag this year? Nobody knows. But we do know what's in this 'bag of Sinterklaas': elstar apple, sultanas and a bit of honey. A super fun snack for the Delicious Evening!
Also needed: 12 cocktail sticks
- Preheat the convection oven to 200°C.
- Thaw the filo pastry: about 2 hours outside the fridge in the plastic wrap.
- Carefully unfold the filo pastry on a cutting board. Use 2 or 3 sheets for 6 pouches. Set 2 sheets aside on a clean work surface.
- Take a large, sharp knife. Hold the sheets in front of you like an A4 sheet. Cut 3 sheets of filo pastry in three widthwise, then cut in half lengthwise. You now have about 6 equal pieces.
- With each stack, separate the top sheets of filo pastry and turn a quarter turn once or twice.
- Clean the apple: peel, remove core and cut into fine pieces.
- Moisten the edges of each filo pastry bag with oil and fill them with apple pieces (you can fill 4 bags with ¼ apple), 2-3 sultanas, a pinch of cinnamon and finally a drizzle of honey.
- Gently fold each filo pastry bag closed, secure with a cocktail stick and place in a baking tray or baking dish.
- Get to work on the last 2 sheets: Follow the procedure from steps 4 to 8.
- Bake the mince pies for about 20 minutes. Check in between, every oven is different.
- Let the bags cool down and remove the skewer before serving.
Tip: You can also defrost the filo pastry in the fridge a day in advance.
