Directions
Craving a McDonald’s Apple Pie? Why not try making them at home with delicious Cosmic Crisp® Apples?
Cook the Apple Filling
Melt the butter in a shallow saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple chunks, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice.
Cook for 8–10 minutes until the apples have softened and the liquid has mostly reduced.
Thicken the Filling
In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with water until smooth.
Stir it into the apple mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, until thickened.
Set aside to cool completely.
Cut the Pastry
Cut the pastry sheet into 12 equal rectangles to make 6 pies.
Assemble the Pies
Spoon a heaped teaspoon or so of the cooled apple mixture onto 6 of the pastry rectangles.
Brush the edges with egg wash, top with the remaining rectangles, and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Cut 2–3 small slits on top of each pie.
Sprinkle with Mingle
After cutting the slits, sprinkle MINGLE Jords’ Nan’s Apple Pie Topper over the pies.
Bake the Pies Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan-forced).Place pies on a lined baking tray. Brush the tops with egg wash.
Bake for 20 minutes. If needed, reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake a little longer for a crispy, flaky finish.
Serve
Let them cool slightly, then dig in. Best served warm, golden and crunchy, straight from the tray.
