Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 320 g shortcrust pastry (approximately 1 sheet)
  • 100 g frozen fruit
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 egg

Instructions
 

  •  Remove the shortcrust pastry 30 minutes before you are ready to start so it can warm and soften. It will make it a lot easier to cut and work with.
  • Preheat the oven to 200ºC / 180ºC fan/gas 6 /428ºF.
  • Slice the shortcrust pastry sheet into 8 equal pieces.
  • Add the 100g frozen fruit to a bowl with a squeeze of lemon (approximately 1 tablespoon) and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  • Lay 4 of the shortcrust pastry pieces onto a prepared baking tray.
  • Spoon the frozen fruit onto 4 pieces, leaving a border of about a finger's width around the outside.
  • Using alphabet cutters or carefully using a knife cut out the word 'BOO' or other Halloween word/phrase onto the pieces without the fruit. These will be the top of the Halloween hand pies.
  • Lightly beat the egg and brush the border of the fruit-covered pieces.
  • Gently place the top of the pies on top of the frozen fruit. Using a fork or crimper, crimp the edges of the shortcrust pastry to stick the pieces together.
  • Brush the pies with the beaten egg and bake for 15/18 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Best served straight from the oven when still warm. However cold is also very tasty.
  • Add pumpkin spices to the mix of fruit for even more of a Halloween flavour.
