  5. Place the filling in the centre of the pastry, leaving a 4cm border. Fold the pastry over the top leaving an opening in the middle. Brush the outside edges with egg and sprinkle with a little extra sugar.
  6. Bake at 180C for 30 minutes. (Place a piece of tinfoil over the top if it is browning too quickly.)
  7. Serve with vanilla icecream.
