Ingredients

6 sheets filo pastry

45 gram unsalted butter, melted

3 medium pears

1/3 cup (25g) flaked almonds

1 tablespoon demerara sugar icing sugar, to dust (optional)

ice-cream, whipped cream or yogurt, to serve

Method

1.Preheat oven to 190°C or 170°C fan. Lightly spray two baking trays with oil.

2.Working with one sheet of filo at a time, brush with a little melted butter. Fold in half and brush surface with more butter. Crumple each piece loosely into an 8cm round, gathering inwards as you work. Transfer to prepared trays.

3.Quarter, core and cut pears into thin slices. Arrange among folds of pastry to fill tarts. Scatter with almonds and sprinkle with demerara sugar.

4.Bake for 15 minutes, until golden. Dust with icing sugar, if using, and serve warm with ice-cream.

Keep the sheets of filo pastry covered with a damp tea towel to prevent them from drying out.
