Steps

  1. Mix together the flour, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.

  6. Blitz the freeze dried apples to a powder in a food processor.
  7. Put the butter, golden syrup, lemon juice, sugar, spice and salt into a saucepan and warm gently until the sugar has dissolved.
  8. Add the chopped apples and cook for 5 minutes, or until the apples are beginning to soften.
  9. Add the cherry jam and cook for 2 more minutes, then add the powdered apple, take off the heat and let it cool.
  10. Roll the pastry out to 4mm thick, and cut it into six 15 x 12cm rectangles.
  11. Put 2 tbsp of apple and cherry filling on one long side of each pastry rectangle. Fold the pastry over and seal the edges with water and by crimping with a fork.
  12. Cover with cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
