Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 190°C.

Combine apples, ginger, juice, brown sugar and 5 teaspoons flour in a large bowl. Divide among 8 x 1-cup (250ml) ramekins.

Lightly dust a rolling pin and work surface with remaining flour. Roll pastry sheet to about 2mm thick. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 0.5cm wide strips. Cut strips into 10cm (you'll need 64 strips of dough).
