Apple Pie Cookies Recipe

1. Peel the apple and chop into small pieces. Then set aside.
2. Take the pastry and cut out 12 circles using a 3 inch circular pastry cutter. Place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof or parchment paper.
3. Spread a dollop of caramel on each pastry base using the back of a spoon.
4. Place the apple chunks on top the caramel - be generous as the apple will shrink slightly in the oven.
5. Sprinkle all the cookies with cinnamon.
6. Cut thin strips from the remaining pastry and weave over the top of the cookies. Don't worry if it looks a bit rough and ready!
7. Beat the egg in a bowl and brush the egg wash over the cookies, then sprinkle them with caster sugar.
8. Bake in an oven preheated to 200c/350f for 15-20 minutes.
9. When lovely and golden, remove from the oven. Leave to chill briefly and enjoy.
