Difficulty: Easy
Total Time: 60-65 minutes
Servings:8-10 large or 16-20 small pies

Ingredients:

4x Bramley Apples
40g unsalted butter
½ cup soft brown sugar
½ cup caster sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
½ tsp salt
2x tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ orange zest
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp corn starch
1x Jus-Rol Puff Pastry
1x Jus-Rol Short Crust Pastry
100g fudge chunks
Edible eyes
1x egg (optional for brushing)
Icing sugar (for dusting)

Equipment:

Chopping knife
Chopping board
Apple peeler / corer
Saucepan
Scales
Measuring cups / spoons
Rolling pin
Zester / grater
Baking tray

Method:

Peel and chop the apples into bite-sized chunks and melt butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the apple chunks and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the sugar and salt, stirring through for 5-10 minutes until the sugar has fully melted and the apples have slightly softened.
Add in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest and cook for another 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, add the cornflour and a tbsp of water and mix into a paste. Add this into the apple mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Stir in half the fudge chunks and allow the mixture to cool.
Preheat oven to 200°C and roll out your Jus-Rol Short Crust Pastry. Slice into even rectangles.
Roll out some Jus-Rol Puff Pastry and slice it into straight rough strips.
Add 2 spoons of the apple mixture into the centre of the pastry rectangles and add on more fudge chunks.
Layer the puff pastry strips roughly to make your wrapped mummy effect, pinching them slightly at the edges.
Optional: brush with egg.
Bake in the oven approx 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown on top.
Finish by adding the eyes once cooled. Sprinkle with icing sugar to turn the mummy’s white.

Tips:

Oven temperatures vary. Bake for 10 minutes and keep checking every couple of minutes.
Add eyes once the pastries are fully cooled otherwise, they will melt.
