Which usually means that at any particular time in your cooking cycles there is quite probably someone somewhere that is worse or better at cooking compared to you personally.

I referred to the recipe from "Mrs. Gifford's English Pie and Pudding", but the ingredient amounts were only rough estimates. I checked how much of each ingredient would be needed, so you won't end up with any leftover filling. Pans with several small cavities on 1 pan rather than individually separated pans, are easier to use. I used Matfer brand tartelette pans. If you don't have tartelette pans, and don't mind the shape, you could form them into gyoza dumpling shapes. For 15 tarts, each 5 cm [2.0 in] in diameter. Recipe by Matu maman

3. Once the mixture from Step 2 comes together, bring the dough together with your hands, divide into half, wrap with plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. For the filling: Finely chop the apple, raisins, sultana raisins, and orange peels, and leave the currants as-is.
5. Put all of the ingredients from Step 4 in a bowl, add the almond flour, brandy, spices, the zest of the lemon, and juice from 1/2 a lemon, and taste. Add more lemon juice if needed.
6. Take half of the dough out of the refrigerator, dust the surface, and with a rolling pin, roll it out until about 2 mm thick.
7. Cut out 7 cm and 6 cm diameter circles. Bring the remaining dough together, and again, roll out and cut out. You should be able to make 8 circles of each size with half of the dough.
