Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 375 g Ready rolled shortcrust pastry ((ready rolled))
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 Apples
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp Granulated hermestas
  • 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 Egg (beaten)
  • 1 tbsp Whole milk

Instruction

  • Chop the apples in to small chunks. The smaller the chunks, the easier for them to stay in the little pies.
  • Melt the butter in a large pan and then add the apples, Hermesetas Granulated Sweetener, cinnamon and vanilla and mix well.
  • Gently cook for 3-4 minutes, until the apples have softened. Allow to cool completely.
  • Roll out the ready make short crust 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 and then after mixing the egg and milk together, use it as an egg wash to brush over the pies.
  • Put in a preheated oven at 190°C/375°F/Gas 5 for 18-20 minutes, until the pastry has cooked.
