3. Place the dough on a floured surface and form a ball then flatten into a disc. Wrap in gladwrap and refrigerate for at least ½ hour.
4. Peel, core and chop the apples into small chunks.
5. In a saucepan mix the water, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until it thickens.
6. Add the apples to the mixture and toss to coat.
7. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
8. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough then cut into circles of roughly 9cm.
9. Place 1 heaped tbsp of the apple filling in the centre of a circle and brush the edges with water.
10. Place the other half on top and crimp the edges with a fork.
11. Brush the top of each pie with milk then cut two slits. Sprinkle on some brown sugar.
