    • 100g Unrefined golden caster sugar

    Combine the pastry into a ball and knead it briefly. Wrap the pastry in cling film and chill for about 30 minutes.

    Spoon the apple and blackberries mix into the cases. Gently wet the edges and top with the smaller pastry rounds pressing gently to seal.
