Helen Goh’s toffee apple hand pies: the perfect Bonfire Night treat

Helen Goh shares a recipe for toffee apple hand pies, rustic puff pastry parcels filled with spiced apples and a toffee glaze deepened by a touch of miso. Designed for Bonfire Night, these portable treats are easy to eat outdoors and offer a cozy, homemade alternative to traditional bonfire toffee apples. The miso enhances the caramel notes without overpowering the sweetness, making them a sophisticated yet comforting dessert. With their warm, spiced filling and flaky crust, these hand pies are sure to become a seasonal favorite for autumn gatherings and fireworks displays.
