While the apples are cooking make the pastry

4

Put the flour into a bowl and rub in the margarine with your fingertips until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Gradually add the water and mix together to make a dough and then form into a smooth ball.

5

Sprinkle flour onto the work surface and put the ball of pastry in the middle. Next, roll out the pastry until it is about 3-5mm thick and then transfer the pastry onto the baking tray.

6

When the apple filling is ready, put it in the centre of the pastry.

7

Brush the edge of the pastry with cold water, so that it will stick. Gently pull the pasty up around the apple, it is ok if there is a gap at the top.

8

Brush the milk over the pastry to glaze.

Cook in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Handy Hints
10

* You could use tinned apples or eating apples instead of cooking apples and you
will not need to simmer them.
* Try adding other fruits (fresh, tinned or frozen) e.g. mango, berries, raisins.
* Sprinkling 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the apple will give extra taste.
