INGREDIENTS:
For the Shortcrust Pastry
300 g plain flour
1 1/2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp salt
120 g plant based butter cubed at room temperature
For the filling
2 apples (any will work but I used cooking apples)
80g blackberries or any seasonal berry
1 tsp cinnamon
80ml Califia Oat Milk
2 tbsp brown sugar
Hand pies glaze
3 tbsp Califia Farms Unsweetened Oat Drink
¼ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sugar
METHOD:
For the pastry
In a large bowl mix the flour, salt and caster sugar together then add the cubed plant based butter. Bring together using your hands or a silicone spatula.
Mix and fold together until a smooth ball of pastry has formed, then place back in the bowl, cover and leave to rest in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.
For the filling
Simply add all of the ingredients to a pan and bring to a medium heat to simmer for around 6-7 minutes, then set aside.
Once the pastry has chilled, take out of the fridge and roll out to form a sheet of pastry less than 1cm thick.
Using a cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles (this will create 6 pies) and then spoon on 1 tbsp of the filling to 6 of the pastry circles.
Score an x in the middle of the remaining 6 pastry circles, then brush with the glazing ingredients, sprinkling sugar on top then layer over to create the hand pie.
