Add the egg and enough breadcrumbs to stiffen up the mixture, finally add the apricots and cranberries.

Unroll the sheets of pastry, then cut into 4 equal squares.

Place a few spoons of the mix onto one side of the square, eggwash the edge and fold over, creating a plump, filled triangle. Repeat with the other 7 squares.

Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sea salt.

Cook in the pre heated oven until nicely browned and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.

Serve warm but not too hot. Tastes great cold in lunchboxes too.
