Pies came out wonderful. Easy recipe with fantastic results. I found I used slightly less filling in each pie and had enough to make 14 rather than 16. I would suggest, if possible, to lay out all four pie sheets, cut them in quarters and put a teaspoon or so of the filling in each one so you may be able to stretch the recipe to 16. Good luck, I think you'll enjoy them. I'm bringing them to my recipe club tonight.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
