Mini Spiced Christmas Apple Pies
Flaky, all-butter golden pastry filled with a delicately spiced sweet filling, baked until crisp and aromatic.
Ingredients
- • 6 small apples (peeled and diced)
- • 3 tbsp granulated sweetener
- • 1 tsp vanilla extract
- • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- • 300 g ready rolled shortcrust pastry
- • low calorie cooking spray
Preparation Steps
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
Place all the filling ingredients into a saucepan. Cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, until the apple begins to soften.
While the filling is cooking, spray the muffin tray with low calorie cooking spray.
Cut rounds out of the pastry using a cookie cutter or a mug. Push them into the muffin tray to make the pie cases.
When the filling is ready, spoon it into the pastry.
Use the leftover pastry to make lattices or cut shapes to place on the top of the pies. If you prefer you can leave the tops naked!
Spray any pastry on the top of the pies with low calorie cooking spray and place into the oven for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked and golden.
You can serve these hot or cold, just let them cool for 10 minutes after you take them out of the oven as they will be very hot!
