  • Combine 2 tablespoons of the flour, prunes, brown sugar, raisins, brandy, oil, orange juice, 1/2 of the orange zest, lemon juice, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and apples in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  • Transfer to a bowl. Wash and dry the food processor.
  • Combine remaining 2 1/2 cups flour, orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt in the processor and pulse until combined.
  • Add butter and pulse until mixture has pea-sized chunks of butter throughout.
  • Drizzle in ice-cold water and pulse until a dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead gently.
  • Form a thick log, about 12-inches long.
  • Cut log in half crosswise and set aside half of the dough. Slice remaining dough into 12 rounds.
  • Place 1 dough round in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan, using your fingers to press dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides.

  • Slice remaining dough into 12 rounds and arrange 1 over filling in each muffin cup.
  • Gently run a table knife around inside edge of each cup, pressing dough toward center of pie to seal crust. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water.
  • Brush top of each pie with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Use a paring knife to make a small "X" in the middle of each pie.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
  • Let cool until warm, and then gently run a table knife around edge of each pie and turn out onto a serving plate.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
