Ingredients:

Shortcrust Recipe here

Filling

6-8 Smith Apples ~ cut small cubes

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

4 tbsp AP flour

1 tsp cinnamon powder

2 tbsp melted butter

Other

Cherry/Blueberries (Frozen/Fresh)

Disposable Foil Pie Tin

White Food Gel

Directions/Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, add all the filling ingredients & mix well.  Set aside.
2. Cut out round (4cm) of shortcrust pastry for the bases of pie tins.  Use a fork to dock holes at the bottom.
3. Fill the pastry bases with the apple mixtures.  Then cut out fluted rounds in the shortcrust pastry for the top.  Secure to the base brushing with the egg wash mixture.
4. Making the eyelids, cut out small rounds that are big enough to wrap around the cherry/blueberry & cut these in half to form a half-moon or  "eyelids" and gently with a knife, cut a little line for a double eyelid.
5. Brush the tops of the pies with egg wash and then place the cherry/blueberry, gently press the "eyelid" into place.  Brush egg wash on the eyelid and sprinkle some fine sugar and bake for 25-30 mins.
6. Once completely cool, draw a white line under the cherry/blueberry eye and a tiny dot.
