Apple pie made easy


This recipe will result in an outstanding apple pie with the minimum of fuss.
We used the ready made short crust pastry from Careme, it may cost a little but the results are guaranteed to give you a short flaky pastry without the fuss. It is available at all good deli's.

As Aussie music industry legend Molly would say "Do yourself a favour" and I encourage you all to do so.



Ingredients

6 large granny smith apples
Juice 1 lemon
45g unsalted butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 packet of Careme sweet short crust pastry (defrosted according to directions on the packet)
Extra sugar
Beaten egg yolk

Method

Peel, core and cut apples into 8ths, immediately pop in a bowl with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Melt butter in a pan, then add apples, sugar, cinnamon and cloves.
Gently toss to incorporate all ingredients.
Continue to stir for 10 minutes or until apples are soft, you still want them to retain their shape.
Leave to cool a little.
Grease pie dish with butter.
From the one sheet of pastry cut size for base of pie dish and a smaller shape for lid.
Place the pastry on the base of the pie dish, gently lift in the apples.
Place pastry on top and brush with beaten egg and a sprinkle of caster sugar.

Bake in a moderate oven 180 degrees Celsius or until pie is golden.

Serve with top quality vanilla ice cream and or cream.
