  This was so easy to make and was absolutely delicious both hot and cold. I will definitely make it again.

  I have not made this yet, but I probably will later in the week. Just one observation, 2 dates? seems very mean, I think I will use more than that in the amount of pastry mentioned.

  Very easy to make and absolutely delicious. I used a couple of handfuls of sultanas instead of the dates. Left the icing off.

  This idea is great! We've had it a few time, varying the filling each time. Have also tried apple and mincemeat, and my 6 year old made it on his own using his own idea of sliced pear and apricot jam. Really easy and a big hit.

  Quick and tasty recipe, make sure that you add a bit of water to the mixture and par cook the mixture before it goes into the oven, otherwise the apples will be under cooked

  Love it, love it, love it!! So simple and smells so festive when putting it together. Although I used a handful of raisins instead of dates.

  Would you be able to make this the day before and then reheat in the oven before your ready to eat?

  Hello Durdit. It would re-heat very well. Store in the fridge after you have made it and re-heat in a hot oven. Don't ice beforehand though as the sugar would melt when you re-heat it!

  Very easy to make and very good! I used 8 dates instead of 2, I guess 2 wouldn't really have made a difference in terms of taste.

  6 medjool dates for me and swapped cinnamon for mixed spice. Crimped the pastry edges with a fork, egg wash on top + generous sprinkle of demerara sugar - like a proper turnover. No icing... didn't really think it needed it. Mine served 8... between 4 it would have been massive portion. Served up with clotted cream ice cream or thick cream. Perfect. It would work nicely with all sorts of fillings, I'm going to try apple and frozen blackberries next.
