Ingredients

1 Cosmic Crisp^® apple, cored and cut crosswise into six 1 cm thick slices, then halved

2 store-bought puff pastry

Your favourite jam

1 tablespoon melted butter

1 egg (for egg wash)

Sprinkles or sugar crystals, for decoration

Directions

Make these fun, quick and easy Cosmic Crisp^® Apple Hand Pies with a juicy slice of Cosmic Crisp^® apple sandwiched between a puff pastry crust with your favourite jam. A smattering of sparkling sugar or a layer of icing topped with sprinkles gives it a winning finish!

Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Unroll the two pie crusts onto a lightly floured surface.
Using a 7-12cm cookie cutter, cut out dough shapes and place on a baking sheet.
Place a halved Cosmic Crisp^® apple slice on each dough cut-out.
Top each apple slice with a small spoonful of your favourite jam.
Cover with a matching dough cut-out and press the edges together with your fingers or a fork to seal.
Brush each hand pie with melted butter or egg wash. Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Decorate with icing and sprinkles or sugar crystals once cooled, if using.
