These were delish!! Love apple and pork as a combo. Will def be making again and popping into lunchboxes. I added a little bit of feta to the mix too as I had some in the fridge that needed to be used. I just wish Careme Pastry wasn’t so expensive. I need to have a go at making my own puff pastry. Thx for another fab recipe Georgia.
