Ingredients
- 800 g (28oz) shortcrust pastry (I used 2 x 400g (14oz) rolls of frozen pastry)
- 6 apples peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Peel and chop the apples into 1cm (½in) dice.
- Melt butter in a large pan then add the apples and cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes.
- Add the brown sugar and cinnamon and cook for 7-10 minutes until the apples are cooked and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Roll the pastry out on a floured surface and using a cookie cutter or glass, cut 24 discs of pastry out.
- Once the filling is cool, place a tablespoon of filling into the center of 12 of the pastry discs.
- Beat the egg and carefully brush some of the egg around the edge then cover with the remaining pastry discs.
- Carefully press the pastry together then crimp with a fork.
- Transfer the pies to two sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut slits into the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the pies with the remaining egg and sprinkle with sugar.
- Place in a preheated oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pies are gold brown and crisp. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes then serve.
