Apple Hand Pies – Crimping is Easy

I’ve been playing around with a new pastry dough, and
figured I’d use it as an excuse for a little demo on turnovers, or “hand pies”
as the hipsters are calling them.

I’ll unveil the new “buttercrust” dough next
week, but this particular video is not about the pastry, or the filling, it’s
about the fairly basic method for folding and crimping one of these up.

As you’ll see, it’s not exactly a complicated procedure. In
fact, I can’t imagine your aunt is going to be too thrilled to know that you’ll
be able to now match her crimp for crimp. Once you have the outside down, what
goes inside should be the least of your worries.

I went for a very soft, apple-saucy, jam-like filling, which
turned out very well, but literally any of your favorite pie fillings, both
sweet and savory, will work. If you do make an apple version, and want to
really blow some minds, top your filling with a thin slice of sharp cheddar.
It’s special. I hope you give this easy technique a try soon. Enjoy!

For 4 Apple Hand Pies:

about 1 pound pie dough, divided into 4

egg wash (1 egg beaten with 2 tsp milk)

granulated sugar as needed

For the apple filling:

2 tbsp butter, browned

2 or 3 green apples

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup white sugar

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, or to taste
1 or 2 tsp of water if needed

Impress your guests with inspirational restaurant-style dishes. No need to let on how simple they are to cook. This side of salmon is roasted with white wine, lemon juice and dill and served with buttery hollandaise sauce flavoured with horseradish. Very simple to make for entertaining.

Serves: 6
Prep time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 20 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Skill level: Bit of effort
Costs: Mid-price

45g (1 1/2oz) butter
1kg (2¼lb) side of salmon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp fresh dill leaves
150ml (5fl oz) dry white wine
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

For the hollandaise:

3 medium egg yolks
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp white wine
150g (5oz) butter
1 tbsp hot horseradish

Buying a pot of Tesco Finest Hollandaise Sauce will save some time over the busy Christmas period

Set the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200°C. Line a roasting tin with a sheet of foil. Rub some of the butter on the foil. Lay the salmon on the foil, skin-side down. Season, then sprinkle with the dill.
Pour over the white wine and sprinkle with the lemon zest and juice. Dot with the rest of the butter. Roast for 20 minutes until the fish is tender, flaking and just turning golden.
To make the hollandaise sauce: Whizz together egg yolks, lemon juice and wine with a pinch of salt in a food processor. Heat the butter until it is very hot. Give the egg mix another quick whizz. With the motor running slowly, drizzle in the very hot melted butter, then add the horseradish.
Serve the salmon warm or cold with the hollandaise.
