Re the Mini Spiced Christmas Apple Pies…..is it possible to freeze the prepared filling by itself prior to cooking the pies as I don’t have space in my small freezer to freeze the cooked pies themselves, thanks.

Hi DeeDee, yes, you could make and freeze the apple filing and then defrost it and use it to fill the pies at a later date. Enjoy the recipe!
DeeDeeWednesday 9th November 2022

Will definitely prepare the filling in advance and enjoy them at Christmas x
