Method

  1. Peel and chop the apples into bite sized chunks and melt butter over a medium heat. Add in apples and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in the sugar and salt, stirring through for 5-10 minutes until the sugar has fully melted and the apples have slightly softened. Add in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest and cook for another 2 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, add the cornflour and a tbsp of water and mix into a paste. Add this into the apple mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in half the fudge chunks and allow the mixture to cool.
  3. Preheat oven to 200c and roll out your Jus Rol Short Crust Pastry. Slice into even rectangles. Roll out Jus Rol Puff Pastry and slice into straight rough strips.
  4. Add 2 spoonfuls of the apple mixture into the center of the pastry rectangles and add on more fudge chunks.
  5. Layer the puff pastry strips roughly to make your wrapped mummie effect, pinching slightly at the edges.
  6. Optional (Brush with egg) Bake in the oven approx 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown on top. Finish by adding the eyes once cooled. Sprinkle with icing sugar to turn mummy’s white.

Tips

  • Oven temperatures vary. Bake for 10 minutes and keep checking every couple of minutes.
  • Add eyes once pastries are fully cooled otherwise they will melt.
