Ingredients

6 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
pinch of cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornflour
1/3 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cream
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
6 medium-sized flour tortillas
20 gram butter
1 tablespoon icing sugar
fresh raspberries and maple syrup, to serve

Method

1

Place the apples, brown sugar, maple syrup and cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes. Stir, and if not tender, microwave for another minute or until the apple is cooked but still holds its shape.
2

Stir in the cornflour and microwave a further 1 minute. Stir in the raspberries.
3

Lightly whisk the milk, cream, eggs and vanilla in a shallow dish – wide enough to submerge a tortilla. Soak a tortilla in the mixture, then lift onto a plate.
4

Place 1/6 of the cooked apple mixture in the middle. Fold the top and bottom edges over the filling then fold the sides in so they overlap completely enclosing the filling.
5

Melt a knob of the butter in a frying pan. Place the parcel seam side down in the hot pan. Cook gently on both sides. While the parcel is cooking, assemble and cook the remaining parcels. Keep warm until all the parcels are cooked.
6

Dust lightly with icing sugar and drizzle with maple syrup and a scattering of fresh raspberries. Serve hot immediately.
