***You will need a loose-bottomed 20cm round angel cake food pan for this recipe. If you don’t have one you can also make this with a 20cm round springform tin, it will just be a round cake instead of a wreath! ***
INGREDIENTS
1 x 375g packet filo pastry sheets, room temperature
1 x 400g tub Dollar Sweets Fruit Mince
150g butter, melted
200ml full cream milk
2 eggs
110g caster sugar
2 tbsp ground mixed spice
1 small Granny Smith apple, finely sliced into thin rounds, then cut in half (half moons)
50g flaked almonds
Icing sugar and raspberries, to garnish
Dollar Sweets Gold Leaf (optional)
METHOD
Preheat a fan forced oven to 180ºC. Using some of the melted butter, lightly grease the base and sides of the pan.
Place two sheets of filo on a clean work surface, one on top of the other, with the short end facing you. Dollop 1 tbsp of fruit mince into the centre and use a spatula to very gently spread (don’t worry if it’s not perfect, a rough job is fine here!). Starting from the end closest to you, scrunch the pastry in a concertina style. Arrange around the outside edge of the prepared pan.
Repeat with remaining sheets of pastry and fruit mince, arranging the pastry in rings gradually into the centre of the pan. The sheets should be a little loose and not super tightly packed. Bake for 15 mins.
Remove cake from the oven, evenly pour over the remainder of the melted butter then return to the oven for 15 mins.
To make the custard, whisk together milk, eggs, caster sugar and mixed spice.
When cake is done, remove from oven and tuck the apple slices randomly in-between the pastry layers. Evenly pour over the custard and return to the oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle over the almonds and bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until the custard is set and the cake is golden on top.
Stand at room temperature until cooled, then remove from the pan, dust with icing sugar and garnish with fresh raspberries (rolled in gold leaf, if using) to decorate.
Excellent blog with practical insights! I completely agree that Window Tint is more than just aesthetics—it’s about long-term protection and value retention. Especially in the UAE market, where environmental conditions can quickly damage a vehicle’s finish, choosing the right products becomes crucial. Detail Empire approach of combining passion with precision really reflects in the quality they offer. It’s great to see platforms that cater to both professional detailers and car lovers. Looking forward to more content on advanced detailing techniques and how to maintain results for longer periods.
Thanks For Sharing
The fruitcake crinkle cake wreath looks like such a festive twist on a classic holiday bake, especially with the way it combines soft cake texture and a wreath shape for Christmas presentation. I liked how simple ingredients like fruit mince and icing sugar can still create something so decorative and special for sharing. I remember trying a similar festive bake during a busy exam week, and I used the Engineering Dissertation writing service UK while managing deadlines. It makes me think that even small creative breaks can make stressful times feel lighter and more balanced.
