Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup icing sugar
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
2 teaspoons cold milk
1 large egg
2 apples, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare the filling by combining chopped apples with lemon juice. In a saucepan, melt butter, add apples, and cook for about 10 minutes with sugar and cinnamon until tender. Let cool.
For the crust, sift flour and icing sugar together, then rub in cold butter until crumbly. Mix in egg and milk to form dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and roll out the dough. Cut into shapes using an apple-shaped cutter. Fill each pastry base with the cooled apple mixture.
Assemble and seal the pies, then freeze for 15 minutes before baking them for 20–25 minutes until golden.
