Begin with making the pastry. In a bowl, add the butter and use your fingertips to mix the butter into the flour, until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Add water, a few tbsp at a time. Use your hands to knead the dough until it forms a firm dough. Be very careful not to add too much water, as if the dough becomes too wet it will be too difficult to work with.

Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes.

To make the filling, simply mix all the ingredients together until well incorporated and set aside.
