Hi,  we have made it to Friday and today I am sharing with you some Small Apple Crumble Pies.  They are really simple to make and look and taste wonderful too.

The pastry I used for this recipe is one of James Martin’s recipes and it is from his book called –  James Martin Sweet.  I used a 58mm cutter by Kitchen Craft Plastic Double Edged Biscuit/Pastry Cutters- boxed.

The pastry is very easy to make and can be made a day before or a few day before needed and then frozen.  If you would like to know the propper name for this pastry it is called PÂTE SUCRÉE

For the Pastry:
Makes 500g

275g Plain Flour + a little extra
100g cold butter, diced
100g icing sugar, sifted
2 eggs

Place the flour, icing sugar and butter into a bowl and rub between your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Make a well in the centre of the mixture and add the eggs.  Mix it all together until a sticky dough forms.

On a lightly floured surface, tip the dough out and knead lightly until smooth.  Shape it into a flattened oval/circle about 1cm thick. Wrap it in some clingfilm and place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.

All of the above can be done straight on your work surface if you prefer.

You can remove these Small Apple Crumble Pies from the lining or leave them as is.  If removing them do so carefully while still warm.

Instead of making these into individual Small Apple Crumble Pies you could just make a traditional round one or you could even make it as a tray bake.

Some raisins could be substituted for cranberries if you prefer.

I hope you have a lovely weekend and are able to relax and give these Small Apple Crumble Pies a try xx
