Refined degreased cake favourite: unlike the puff pastry of the original French recipe, the filo pastry contains no fat; sour cream instead of crème fraîche also makes the tartlets figure-friendly. In addition, the enzyme bromelin from the pineapple aids digestion by breaking down protein.

Depending on season and taste, you can prepare the tartes with other types of fruit. You can make them with apricots, peaches - or in the classic way with apples. And for those who don't care so much about fat, you can also use puff pastry.
