Bramley apples are the best cooking variety to make into these sweet little tarts.
Ingredients
- 4 bananas, unpeeled
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 45g filo pastry
- 10 sprays calorie controlled cooking spray
- 1⁄2 tsp icing sugar
- 4 apples, unpeeled
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Directions
1
For the ice cream, freeze the bananas in their skins for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
2
Take them out of the freezer and leave to stand for 10 minutes. The skin will now easily slice off with a sharp knife, so peel, then chop the flesh into chunky slices.
3
Pop into a food processor and pulse a few times until a smooth ice cream forms. Stir in the cinnamon, then scoop into 4 individual portions, place on a plate and refreeze until ready to serve. Defrost slightly if its too hard.
4
To make the cigarillos, preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C (fan oven) / 395°F / Gas Mark 6, using a sharp knife, cut the filo into squares. Starting at one corner, roll each square up tightly to form a cigarillo.
5
Mist a cooking spray and sprinkle with the icing sugar. Bake for 10 minutes until crisp and golden. These are best served warm, so if you made them in advance, gently reheat.
6
Meanwhile, for the apples, quarter and core them, then cut into wedges. Heat gently in a pan with the sugar until soft but with a bite, about 10-15 minutes.
7
Serve the apples topped with the ice cream and cigarillos.
