Instructions

1.
**Make the pastry:** In a large bowl, rub the butter into the flour and salt until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the mashed Jersey Royal potatoes.
2.
Gradually add the iced water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork it.
3.
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in cling film, and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
4.
**Prepare the apple filling:** In a saucepan, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are slightly softened but still hold their shape. Remove from heat and stir in the Jersey Black Butter. Let cool slightly.
5.
**Assemble the hand pies:** Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to about 3mm thick. Using a round cutter (approximately 10cm diameter), cut out 8 circles.
7.
Place a spoonful of the apple filling onto the center of 4 of the pastry circles. Brush the edges with a little Jersey milk.
8.
Top with the remaining pastry circles and press the edges together to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
9.
Brush the tops of the hand pies with Jersey milk and sprinkle with caster sugar.
10.
Cut a small slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
11.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
12.
Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Chef's Tips

For a richer pastry, substitute some of the water with Jersey double cream.

Adjust the amount of sugar in the apple filling depending on the sweetness of your apples.

These hand pies are best served warm, but can also be enjoyed cold.
