Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Simmer the apples with the caster sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice for 8 minutes until soft. Stir in the cornflour for 1 minute and cool completely.

  2. Heat the oven to 180°C / 355°F and line two trays. Beat the butter and brown sugar until pale, then beat in the egg and vanilla.

  3. Mix in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to a soft dough.

  4. Flatten a walnut-sized ball of dough in your palm, put a teaspoon of filling in the middle, fold the dough round it and seal. Make twelve.

  5. Bake for 15 minutes until golden at the edges. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes.
