Ingredients

Filling:

4 large Cox's or similar crisp apples

75g cranberries, dried ready-to-eat

4 tbsp runny honey

1/4 tsp cinnamon, ground

Suet Crust Pastry:

100g Atora Original Suet or Atora Vegetable Suet

225g McDougalls or Be-Ro Self-Raising Flour, sifted

pinch salt

a little cold water, to mix

Glazing:

1 medium egg, beaten

Method

Step one
Pre-heat the oven to 190°c, 375°F, Gas Mark 5. Peel and core the apples.

Step two
In a bowl mix together the cranberries, honey and cinnamon then spoon into the centre of each apple.

Step three
Mix together the flour, salt and Atora Suet. Gradually add enough water to give a soft rolling consistency to the dough, but not enough to make it sticky. Knead before dividing the dough into 4 even pieces.

Step four
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, large enough to wrap around the complete apple. Tuck the edges underneath the base of the apple, trimming off any excess dough.

Step five
Seal well with the beaten egg.

Step six
Place onto a baking tray; glaze the over top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with a little extra sugar if liked. If any trimmings are left over, make decorative leaves and place onto the top of the apples.

Step seven
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Cook’s Tip
Serve hot with cinnamon flavoured ice-cream, cream or custard.
