Ingredients
- 375 g Ready rolled shortcrust pastry ((ready rolled))
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 Apples
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 Egg (whisked)
- 1 tbsp Whole milk
Method
- Preheat your oven to 190ยฐC/170ยฐC(fan)/375ยฐF/Gas 5.
- Chop 2 Apples into small chunks. The smaller the chunks, the easier for them to stay in the little pies.
- Melt 2 tbsp Butter in a large pan and then add the apples, 4 tbsp Sugar, 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon and 1 tsp Vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gently cook for 3-4 minutes, until the apples have softened. Allow to cool completely.
- Roll out 375 g Ready rolled shortcrust pastry and then using a cup or cookie cutter that is about 4 inches in diameter, cut out 10 circle (this will make 5 hand pies).
- Place 5 of the circles on a lined baking sheet (use 2 sheets if there is not enough room) and then divide the apples between them. You will need about 2-3 tbsp of filling per pie, making sure there is an edge around the pie.
- Put the other pastry circles on top and then carefully crimp around the edge using a small fork. Make a slit in the middle.
- Mix together 1 Egg and 1 tbsp Whole milk together, use it as an wash to brush over the pies.
- Put into the oven for 18-20 minutes, until the pastry has cooked.
