Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface into a large rectangle.

Transfer to a lightly greased baking tray.

2)Put the sultanas in a small mixing bowl with just enough warm water to cover them, and soak for 10 mins.

3)Core the apples and pears and slice them into even-sized pieces – you don’t need to peel them.

Put the pieces in a bowl and add the honey and 2 tbsp apricot jam.

Drain the soaked sultanas and add them to the mixture.

Stir well and add the mixed spice and cinnamon to taste.

4)Spoon the mixture in a thick strip down the centre of the puff pastry.

Use a sharp knife to make roughly 8 diagonal cuts down each side of the pastry like a lattice.

Fold the pastry strips alternately across the filling like a plait.

Crack the egg into a bowl, whisk with a fork and, using a pastry brush, glaze the top of the puff pastry.

Place the plait in the oven and bake for 25-30 mins or until the apples are soft and the pastry is golden brown.

Serve with crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream.
