Ingredients
- 375 g Ready rolled shortcrust pastry (ready rolled)
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 apples
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg whisked
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C(fan)/375°F/Gas 5.
- Chop 2 Apples into small chunks. The smaller the chunks, the easier for them to stay in the little pies.
- Melt 2 tablespoon Butter in a large pan and then add the apples, 4 tablespoon Sugar, 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon 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 tablespoon 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 tablespoon 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.
Notes
- You can use any kind of apple for this recipe, or even use a mixture if you have some that need using up.
- Cut the apples into small pieces. This way you can get more mixture into each pie.
- We went with cinnamon as the spice for these apple pies, but you could swap it for ginger or nutmeg, or use a mixture of all three.
- Not a fan of apples? You can make a berry version of these or even swap the apple for pears.
- Feel free to get creative with the shape pies you make, and use cookie cutters.
- Make sure to look for a ready made pastry that is as low in sugar (or sugar free) as possible.
- Take these apple hand pies to the next level by finishing them off with a drizzle of salted caramel before serving.
