   Preheat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C with convection, gas 6). In a saucepan combine the apples, sugar, ground spice mix and raisins, add 2 tbsp water, cover and cook for 6 minutes until the apples become soft, stirring occasionally.

2. 2

   Remove the saucepan from the heat, let the filling cool slightly, then spread it in a shallow dish.

3. 3

   Cut the filo pastry sheets lengthwise into three equal strips and lightly brush them with the melted margarine.

4. 4

   Place a tablespoon of apple filling onto the centre of each strip, then fold the sides up and form a triangular packet, sealing the edges.

5. 5

   Arrange the prepared samosas on a parchment‑lined baking tray and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and crisp.

6. 6

   Serve warm with low‑fat yogurt or your favourite sauce.
