Quick and Easy Crinkly Christmas pies - ( 30 things to cook and eat for Christmas)

To make 12 pies you will need;

4 cooking apples

3 tablespoons of orange juice or cold water

2 teaspoons of castor sugar

50g (2oz) dried cranberries or sultanas

½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

100g (4oz) filo pastry (about 6 sheets)

Plastic food wrap

50g (2oz) butter

2 teaspoons of icing sugar

A baking tray with shallow pans or 12 – hole muffin tin

Heat you oven to 190 degrees centigrade, 375 Fahrenheit, gas mark 5.

Peel and cut the apples into small pieces and remove the cores. Add the apples to a pan with the orange juice or water. Cook for 20 minutes on a low heat, stirring often. Stir in the castor sugar, cinnamon and dried fruit. Continue to cook for a further 5 minutes. Unwrap the pastry. Cut the 6 pastry sheets into 6 squares (total of 36 small squares) and cover them with a plastic food wrap. Put the butter into a small pan and melt over a low heat. Brush a little butter over one of the pastry squares and place into a hole in the tray butter side up. Brush butter on another square and place this over the first one. Overlap the corners slightly to begin to create a star shape. Butter and add a third square. Repeat in all the holes to create 12 open pastry cases. Put the tray on the middle shelf of the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Take it out and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Take the pastry cases out of the tray and put them onto a large plate. Heat the apples again for a further 2 minutes. Spoon the apple mixture into the pastry cases, so that they are almost full. Sift the icing sugar over them.
