makes / 16 prep / 30 minutes cook / 35 minutes
Ingredients 16 sheets filo pastry
30g (1⁄4 cup) almond meal
2 tbsp brown sugar 1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon 1⁄4 tsp ground cloves
150g seedless red grapes, halved 150g seedless green grapes, halved
25g (1⁄4 cup) natural flaked almonds (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fanforced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Cover the filo with a damp tea towel.
2. Lay a sheet of pastry on a work surface. Spray liberally with oil. Fold in half lengthways. Starting at a long side, roll up about three-quarters of the way along then fold into a circle, tucking under the extra pastry and sealing the edges, to make a small tart case. Place on a prepared tray. Repeat with remaining pastry to make 16 cases in total.
3. Combine the almond meal, sugar, cinnamon and cloves in a bowl. Sprinkle over base of each tart case. Fill with grapes. Scatter with flaked almonds, if using, and spray with oil. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and crisp. 4. Drizzle with maple syrup. Serve with yoghurt or cream, if you like.
