For me, there’s nothing more nostalgic than a hand-held apple pie. It was always a real treat growing up – the ease of being able to grab a spiced apple pie on the go, still warm and crisp in its little paper sleeve, was a dream. My recipe for individual pies replicates that childhood favourite and they’re really quick to make. A sprinkle of demerara sugar on top of the shortcrust pastry makes them incredibly crisp and moreish. I sometimes even wrap them in foil to keep them warm on car journeys for a filling treat on-the-go that doesn’t involve queueing at a service station. Liberty Mendez, recipe developer

A classic apple pie filling spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg is encased in golden shortcrust pastry – made extra crisp and delicious with a sprinkling of demerara sugar.
