Method

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
Lay pastry sheets on top of each other, cut into four strips across the width and then cut down the length to make 8 squares. Brushing each square very lightly with butter, layer up three at a time with their corners offset and use to line a mini muffin mould. Repeat until all the moulds are lined, then bake for 8-10 mins until the pastry is golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining filo, until it's all used, making sure you cover any waiting pastry with cling film.
Mix the mincemeat with brandy and apricots and stir well. Place 1tsp each of crème fraiche and mincemeat in each tartlet.
