Preparation time: 20 minutes

Baking time: 20 minutes

Serves 4-6

Here’s the recipe:

1) 3 large apples (roughly 300g)

3) 3-4 tbsp sugar

4) 2tsp plain flour

5) 1/4-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

6) 2 tbsp golden raisins (optional)

7) Sheets of ready-rolled puff or short-crust pastry

8 ) 1 egg, beaten

9) 4-5 small heatproof bowls or cups

10) Vanilla ice-cream to serve

Directions:

• Peel and core apples. Cut into 1cm cubes and place in a mixing bowl
• Combine sugar and flour (amount of sugar will depend on whether the apples are sweet or sour)
• Mix sugar/flour mixture,ground cinnamon and rainsins (if used) into the apples
• Spoon apples into heatproof cups. Brush the edges of each cup with a little egg.
• Cut pastry into squares or circles 1cm larger than the top of the cup/bowl and position pastry to make a tight lid
