Instructions

  1. To make the pastry place all the ingredients in a food processor until the mixture forms a ball. Cover in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour.
  2. Once the dough has rested, remove it from the refrigerator and roll it out to about 3 mm thick and cut out rounds using a 12cm cookie cutter.
  3. Lightly mix the filling ingredients in another bowl and proceed to place 1 tablespoon of filling in each round.
  4. Fold each round in half and seal the edges with a fork to achieve a nice crimped edge.
  5. Place the pies onto a baking tray, brush with egg wash and place in a preheated 180 deg C oven for about 25-30 mins (depending on how your oven works!)
