What you'll need to do

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 220 C/gas mark 7.
  2. Roll out your pastry thinly and cut out approx 15 small circle shapes (each one a little wider than the indentations of your cake/mini tart tray). Gently press each circle into the moulds.
  3. You can then prepare the filling. Squeeze out a pouch of ‘The Red One’ into a bowl and add the dried fruit and ground ginger. Give it all a good stir and then spoon a small dollop into each pastry mould. You can then lay a couple of apple slices on the top of each pie.
  4. Bake the pies in the oven for approx 10-12 minutes depending on your oven. Keep an eye on them as they don’t need long! Once out, carefully prise the pies out of the tin and leave them to cool
