Cut the block of pastry into 9 small squares, and roll each one into an 8cm square, trimming the edges to neaten the shape. (You can use the trimmings to make an extra pastry). Place them on a well-greased baking sheet. With a sharp knife, mark a 1cm margin inside each square, without cutting through the pastry. Spread a teaspoon of jam onto each pastry square, keeping inside the margin. Arrange 3 or 4 apple slices on top of the jam. Brush beaten egg over the margins. Mix together 1 tablespoon of caster sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or mixed spice and sprinkle liberally over the pastries.
