How to make fruit hand pies
Okay so first up… We cheat and use ready to roll puff pastry, for speed and ease.
The little apple and blackberry puffs are super simple to make.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to around 1cm thickness.
- Using a pasty cutter – cut out circles. I tend to use a pastry cutter that’s around 6cm across. So depending on how big your cutter is depends on how many you can make.
- One one half of the pastry circles lay thinly sliced apples and add a couple of squashed blackberries. Sprinkle over some cinnamon sugar and fold the pastry circle over the top of the fruit filling.
- Using a fork just crimp the edges of the pastry together to seal in the fruit.
- Brush the top of the little fruit hand pie with beaten egg and sprinkle on some more sugar if you like.
- Place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in the oven for around 20 minutes. Or until they are puffy, golden and the fruit is oozing and sticky.
- Carefully remove them from the tray and leave them on a wire rack to cool a little before eating. Because the fruit filling is super hot when they’re fresh from the oven.
Make apple & blackberry puffs your way
- No blackberries – just use any other type of berry or skip them altogether and just do apple.
- Don’t like cinnamon – add a sprinkling of vanilla sugar instead.
- Use shortcrust pastry and turn them into fully enclosed little fruit pies.
