Prep Time10 minsCook Time40 minsTotal Time50 mins

Ingredients

2 packs of shortcrust pastry
5 Keelings Irish Bramley apples, peeled, cored and finely sliced
140 g golden caster sugar
0.25 tbsp each of ground cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice
1 egg beaten with a splash of milk
Plain flour for dusting
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, to serve (optional)

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 200°C/ 400°F/ Gas 6.

2

Squash the two blocks of pastry together and then cut off a third and set aside.

3

Roll out the rest of the pastry on a lightly floured surface, to form a large circle, about 3-4mm thick.

4

Use it to line a 23cm shallow springform cake tin, making sure that it overhangs the rim all the way round. Then place in the fridge.

5

Tip the apples into the bowl with all but 2 tbsp. of the sugar and spices. Toss everything well to coat the apple.

6

Roll out the rest of the pastry, then cut into a circle, using the base of the tin as a guide. Using your fingers, arrange the apple slices in the cake tin.

7

Cover the apples with the circle of pastry and tuck down the sides. Brush the lid with egg wash, then fold back and pinch the over-hang to seal.

8

Tip! Why not lattice the dough can make a homemade pie look so pretty. Cut the dough into even strips depending how thick you want your lattices to be, layer them over and under one another to create a basket weave appearance.

9

Brush the top generously with egg wash, then pierce 2 slits in the top and scatter over the remaining sugar.

10

Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden. Leave to cool in its tin for a good hour, until the bottom is cool enough to touch.

11

Run a knife around the pie's edge, then open the side of the tin and remove the pie.
