"I would like to thank BusyMomof3 for this little treasure in Sugar Free Cooking cookbook that she sent me in the recent cookbook swap. TIP - for an extra rich pastry, use 1 egg yolk and half the amount of water in this recipe. Please feel free to use what ever dried fruits you have on hand."

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F (160C fan forced, 175C conventional).

Step 2

Sift the flour, salt and spices into a large bowl.

Step 3

Cut the butter into dice and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs (I would use a food processor on pulse to do this).

Step 4

Mix in enough water to produce a smooth pliable dough.

Step 5

Divide the dough into six pieces and roll out into a square approximately 8 inches.

Step 6

Peel the apples with a sharp knife and carefully remove the centre cores with a apple corer.

Step 7

Chop the prunes and the apricots and mix these with the raisins.

Step 8

Place the prepared apple into the centre of each pastry square, and fill the cavities with equal amounts of the dried fruit mixture.

Step 9

Brush the edges of each square with a little water and draw them up and around the sides of the apples, sealing them well with a little water and trimming off the excess pastry to give a neat finish.
