Apple and Rumtopf Pies
A crispy filo pastry, wrapped around diced braeburn apples, mixed with rumtopf and cinnamon.
Rumtopf is a German concoction where dried fruit is popped into a jar, and steeped in ‘left over’ booze. We’re not sure what ‘left over’ booze is, so we just pour in the dregs like brandy, rum, whisky, vodka…

Ingredients
- 4 sheets of filo pastry
- 100g melted butter
- 2 braeburn apples, cored, peeled and diced
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp rumtopf – or you can soak dried fruit in some brandy
- Demerara sugar – a sprinkle on each pie
Method
- Setup your Big Green Egg for an indirect cook with the stainless steel grid on top of your ConvEGGtor. To that, add your baking stone. Set your Egg to 200°C.
- Melt your butter in a pan or dish.
- Take four sheets of filo pastry, and cut each sheet into six rectangles.
- Take a rectangle of pastry and brush with the melted butter. Top it with a second sheet, twisted 45°. Brush it with butter.
- Continue to do this until you have a pile of 4 sheets of filo; each brushed with butter.
- Pop the pile into a muffin tin.
- Repeat until you have filled six muffin holes.
- In a bowl, mix your chopped apple with the rumtopf and cinnamon.
- Spoon this mixture into each of the parcels, filling each to the level of the tin.
- Sprinkle each pie with some demerara sugar.
- Pop your muffin tin into the Egg and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the filo is coloured and the apple mixture is bubbling.
- Take out and allow to cool a little.
These would be lovely with some creme fraiche or a dollop of ice cream.
