Briouates aux Fruits

Briouates aux Fruits are delightful Moroccan pastries filled with a medley of fresh fruits, providing a sweet and healthy twist to traditional dishes. These crispy, golden treats are perfect for a light dinner or a unique dessert option.

Ingredients

• Phyllo dough - 6 sheets
• Mixed fresh fruits (e.g., apples, pears, and berries) - 200 grams
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Ground almonds - 30 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Powdered sugar - for dusting (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Peel and dice the apples and pears, then mix them with the berries in a bowl.
3. Add honey, ground cinnamon, and ground almonds to the fruit mixture and stir until combined.
4. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again.
5. Cut the layered phyllo dough into rectangles (about 10x15 cm).
6. Place a spoonful of the fruit mixture at one end of each rectangle. Fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a parcel.
7. Place the filled briouates seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Brush the tops with a little more olive oil for a golden finish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
