Banana and Raisin Triangles

For easy apple pie taste without the hazzle, this pastry can be made using ready-rolled puff pastry. If you have a sandwich maker, it is even easier.

Ingredients:
400g can pie apple
1 banana, sliced
1/2 cup sultanas or raisins
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp mixed spice
4 sheets frozen sweet puff pastry, halved
icing sugar, to dust.

Method:
1. Preheat a 2 hole sandwich maker (see note). Combine apple, banana, sultanas, sugar and spice in a bowl.
2. Place half a sheet of pastry onto the base of the sandwhich maker. Place a spoonnfull of apple mixture into each recess. Place another pastry half on top.
3. Close machine. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Continue with remaining ingredients. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm with custard.

Note:
You will need to use a traditional sandwich maker with this recipe - not a sandwich press (which does not seal the filling). If you do not have a sandwich maker, cut pastry into even sized squares, add filling and fold pastry over to form a turnover. Bake in a hot oven (200C) for 10-15 minutes or until puffed and golden.
