*Edited*
Simple apple tartlets using pantry ingredients.=) Well at least most of it is pantry ingredients.

4 large Granny smith apples, chopped
50g raisins
100g brown sugar
1/2tsp ground cinnamon
2tbsp water
2tbsp rum
3 tbsp corn flour

Pastry
Store bought filo pastry

To make apple filling- Place chopped apples, brown sugar,ground cinnamon and water in a pan and let it cook over low high for 5minutes or until sugar has melted, be careful not to burn your apples and sugar mixture. Add raisins and rum,let it cook for a few minutes.Dilute corn flour in a little water,add to apple-sugar mixture. Once the mixture begins to thicken, remove from stove and let it cool down.

To assemble- Preheat oven at 160 degrees. Generously line cupcake pan with butter. Cut filo pastry into squares roughing estimating the size according to your cupcake pans. Each cupcake mould should have 3 squares of filo pastry 'glued' together lightly with butter. Fill pastry cups with apple filling and bake for about 10 minutes or until pastry is golden brown (This is optional-place apple tartlets in paper cups).Serve warm.
