BURNT BUNNY BAKES

A simple twist on a comforting classic. The filling is made up of tender apples and strawberries in a flaky pastry. A soft and juicy centre with a hint of cinnamon, these pies pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some caramel sauce!

These were so easy to make! Such a beautiful flavour and a wonderful texture.

The filling for this recipe can be fairly interchangeable. Can definitely be done with cherries, blueberries, mangoes etc.

You don’t need many ingredients for this recipe, here they are:

1. 1/2 Fuji apple or 1 small apple
2. 10 strawberries
3. 4 tbsp brown sugar
4. 2 tbsp honey
5. 4 tbsp butter (I use olive spread)
6. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
7. GF shortcrust pastry

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180c fan
2. Make your pastry & chill for 30 minutes
3. Finely chop up the strawberries and apple
4. Add the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon and butter to a pot on a medium heat
5. Once melted add in the apples, after 10 minutes add the strawberries. Apples are a bit tougher so take longer to soften, the strawberries only need a couple minutes so take off the heat once the strawberries are soft.
6. Roll out the pastry and cut to rectangles, mine came to about 4 large pies
7. Spoon on the fruit mixture, try not to spoon up too much syrup it’ll make the pies slightly soggy
8. Add on the top layer of pastry and poke holes in the tops & if needed, line the edges with egg to help stick
9. Bake for about 15-20 minutes- if you want them to be golden brown add an egg wash
