- Preheat the oven to 180 C, 350 F, Gas Mark 4.
- Trim the apples into squares and brush with lemon juice.
- Fill the apple cavities with marzipan, and press remaining marzipan on top of the apples to create a flat, square surface.
- Divide the pastry into 4 and roll out each portion into a square large sufficient to wrap around the apple.
- Place an apple, marzipan side down in the centre of a pastry square and bring up the sides to enclose the apple, sealing the edges. Place seam down on a lightly greased baking tray and repeat process with remaining apples.
- Use pastry trimmings to create ribbons to decorate the ''presents''.
- Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle over the sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 min till golden brown.
- Alternative ingredients- -Any small apple or possibly pear may be used instead of coxs. -White marzipan is a suitable alternative to golden brown. -Try cutting shapes from any remaining pastry to decorate the ''parcels'' for example flowers or possibly holly leaves for Christmas.
- NOTES : These individual apple and almond pies are deliciously light.
- Delicious served warm or possibly cool with ice cream, custard or possibly creme fraiche.
