03 Method

Step 1

Whiz flour, icing sugar, and butter in a food processor until fine crumbs. Add egg yolk and 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water, then whiz until smooth ball forms. Enclose in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Step 2

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 3

For the filling, combine berries, lemon juice, apple and sugar in a bowl. Set aside. Divide dough into four and roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface into a 15cm circle.
Step 4

Transfer to a baking tray and place a handful of filling in the center of each pastry round, leaving a 3cm border. Fold over pastry edge to enclose filling, pressing down lightly with your fingers to seal. Brush pastry with beaten egg and bake for 20-30 minutes until golden.
Step 5

Meanwhile, for the custard, place milk, cream, vanilla pod and seeds into a pan over medium heat. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornflour together until smooth.
Step 6

As soon as the milk mixture starts to bubble, pour it into egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return to pan and place over low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon for 3-4 minutes until thickened and smooth.
Step 7

Serve pies with warm custard.
