Step #1 (Inspired by James Joyce's "Ulysses") Preheat the oven to 400'F.
Step #2 Peel & core the apples.
Step #3 Stuff the centers with a mixture of brown sugar, raisins & cinnamon.
Step #4 Roll out the pastry & cut out 4 circles approximately 8" in diameter, depending on the size of the apples.
Step #5 Place an apple in the center of the pastry circle & brush the edge with beaten egg; draw up the pastry to enfold the apple, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Step #6 Brush the tops of the pastry parcels with the remaining egg to glaze.
Step #7 Bake in a shallow ovenproof dish for 40 mins.
