  4. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add the diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes until the apples are tender (not mushy). Add the paste and cook for another minutes or so. Let it cool.

  6. Put the hollowed out apples onto a baking tray, lined with parchment paper. Fill them with the apple sauce mixture.
  7. Roll out the puff pastry, the using a pizza cutter, cut out long strips. Wrap the filled apples with these looking like a mummy- not too tightly though.
  8. Brush the pastry crust with the milk, then bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is light brown.
  9. Stick the eyes into the gaps (using dried cranberries, sultanas, marshmallows, sweets etc.)
