Lay the first sheet of filo pastry on a clean tea towel on your work surface and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle over 1/3 of the pecan mixture. Lay another sheet of filo pastry over the first one, sprinkle with pecans, cinnamon, and dark muscovado sugar, as before. Repeat with the third sheet and lay the fourth sheet over the top. Drain your apples well and toss with the caster sugar and dried cranberries. Spread them along the bottom edge of the pile of filo pastry sheets. Brush the top edge of the filo pastry sheets with a little water and gently lift the edge of the tea towel nearest you and use it to help you roll the pastry up lengthways like a Swiss roll, with the apples at the centre and press together gently. Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with some good vanilla ice cream.
