Preheat the oven 180°C.

Apple, prunes, raisins add to a small saucepan with the lemon juice, sugar, spices, cook for around 5 minutes over a medium heat, until the fruit soft.

Meanwhile, lay out a sheet of filo pastry on a slightly damp, clean tea towel.

Spray the filo pastry lightly with oil, and place another sheet on top. Repeat until you’ve used all of the pastry – 8 sheets in total.

Spread the cottage cheese over one half of the filo pastry, and top with the apple mixture.
