You will need:
Filling:
450g Chopped Apple
50g Granulated or Golden Granulated Sugar
1tsp Cinnamon
1tsp Flour
1tbsp Milk
Pastry:
200g Plain Flour
1 tbsp Caster Sugar
130g Butter
1 Egg
1 tbsp Water (Approx)
Method:
1. Firstly, in a bowl, mix together your flour and sugar. The add your butter and mix in with the tips of your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2. The add the egg and mix together, add as required until it comes together as a dough. Put this in the fridge while we make the filling.
3. Then for the filling, in a saucepan, mix together your apples, cinnamon, sugar and flour.
4. Then turn the heat to low, and cook for 5 minutes until the apples have soften. Then take this off the heat and put this to one side while we construct the pie.
5. Then roll out your pastry on a lightly floured surface. I used a 22cm pie tin which I have floured to prevent sticking (but you can use butter), then line your tin with the pastry cutting off any excess which we will use for the lid.
6. Then fill the case with the apple filling.
7. The roll out the remaining pastry. Brush the side of the pie with the milk then top the pie with the pastry top. Pressing down to seal with the pastry bottom, using a fork to seal the top. Put a hole in the middle of the pie for the steam to escape.
8. Then bake in a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 6, 200C or 180C fan assisted for 45-50 mins.
