Cherry Tortilla Pies
Ingredients
- three cups pitted cherries, roughly chopped
- two tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla bean extract
- 1 tbsp cornflour mixed into 2 tbsp cold water
- 6 small tortillas
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup flaked almonds
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180c
Put the pitted cherries, maple syrup and vanilla into a pan over medium heat
Cook for ten minutes till the cherries release some of their juices
Pour in the cornflour slurry, mix well and take off the heat
Lay our the tortilla and divide the mixture between them
Make sure to keep the mixture in the middle
Break the egg into a small bowl and whisk
Brush the egg around the cherry mixture going right up to the edges of the tortilla
Fold in half to form a semi circle and using a fork firmly press around the edge to seal the pies
Brush the tops with the egg wash
Sprinkle with the almonds and use more egg to ‘stick’ the almonds on
Bake for around 10 minutes till the top is golden brown
Let them cool a little and enjoy
