- ½ lemon, zested and juiced
- 6 filo pastry

Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix together the apples, raisins, sugar, cinnamon and lemon zest and juice in a bowl with a small pinch of salt.
- STEP 2
Lay a clean tea towel on your worksurface and then lay a sheet of filo on top and brush really well with melted butter. Put another sheet directly on top of this and brush again. Repeat with the remaining sheets and butter.
- STEP 3
With the longest side of the filo facing you, spoon on the apple filling in a thick log, leaving a 4cm border nearest you, and also at the sides. Fold in the sides, then use the towel to help you roll the whole thing up into a fat log. Brush with a little more melted butter and put into the oven for 30-35 mins or until golden and crisp.
- STEP 4
Leave to cool until just warm, then dust with icing sugar and serve with some lightly whipped cream.
