Apple Pie Slice

• Preheat the oven to 200c/180c Fan/ Gas Mark 6 . Line a baking tray with parchment paper
• Peel, chop and core the apples. Add to a pan with the icing sugar, butter and 3 Tbsp of water. Heat on a medium setting stirring occasionally until the apples have started to break down.
• Add the raisins to the pan then stir gently for 2-3 mins, you may need to add more water or icing sugar to taste.
• Unroll the puff pastry on a floured surface, then cut in half so you have two equal sides. Place one half on the baking tray.
• When the apple mix is ready spoon onto half of the pastry on the tray leaving a 2cm gap all the way around the edge. Brush the edge with the some of the egg using a pastry brush.
• Take the second half of pastry, fold in half then using a sharp knife cut from the folded side towards the cut end leaving 2cm intact from the cut edge. So you have cut lines in the pastry. Then open the pastry back up and place on top of the filling. Use a fork to crimp the two pastry halves together all the way around to create a sealed filling.
• Next brush with the beaten egg all over the top and then bake in the oven for 25-30mins until risen and golden.
• Leave to cool slightly and slice into 8 equal pieces.

Serve with custard (see our recipe here), ice cream or clotted cream.
