6 pcs Apples
100 g Sugar
110 9 Wholemeal Flour
110 g Self Raising Flour
50 g Butter
50 g Lard
1 tsp salt
cold water to mix
700 g (Bramley) Cooking Apples
25 g Light Muscavado Sugar
0.5 tsp Cinnamon
0.25 tsp Nutmeg
0.25 tsp cloves
2 tbsp water
milk and caster sugar for finishing

Instructions

Step by step

1
Preheat the oven to 200 C and have ready a 24cm pie dish
2
Peel, core and thinly slice the apples. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and the 2 Tbsp of water to a pan
3
Add the sugar and simmer for until the apples fluff up and soften. Set this aside
4
Now make the pastry (or use ready-made) and allow this to rest while the apples cool
5
Once rested make your pie structure. I like a lattice so line the base, add my filling and then cut the top into strips and plait them on in a lattice.
6
Brush the top with milk and then sprinkle a little castor sugar across the top for a little additional sweet finish to the crust
7
Bake at 200C. Allow to cool. Perhaps serve with homemade icecream of your choice.
