Make your favourite pastry then fill with this mixture:
2.5 cups sliced apples
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp nutmeg or cinnamon
1 tsp butter
Mix first 4 ingredients together. Place into pastry-lined dish. Dot with butter, then cover with top crust.
Bake in a hot oven, 200 degrees C, for 30-40 mins or until apples are tender. Lower the heat to 180 degrees C if the pastry is colouring too much.
Serve with whipped cream or ice-cream.
Cinnamon is added to the crust, which because it’s cake-like, blends well with the delicate apples.
90g butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 small egg
1 cup SR
1 Tab cinnamon
1 kg apples, cooked with a little sugar and 2 cloves.
Stew the apples and hold them hot until needed.
Cream b&s, add egg, cinnamon and sifted flour. Divide mixture into halves. This mixture is difficult to roll out, so press the bottom layer of pastry into the dish.
Put hot, well-drained apples on top. Roll the remaining pastry on a piece of greaseproof paper and place it on the pie using the paper as a lifting help.
Bake at 200 degrees C for 20 mins. Dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream or ice-cream.
