A classic Irish dish. Try filling it with a combination of fruits such as pears and blackberries for a twist.
Ingredients
Apple(s)
4 medium, peeled, cored and sliced thinly
Ground cinnamon
1 tsp, or mixed spice
Caster sugar
1 tsp
Lemon juice
1 tbs
Reduced-fat shortcrust pastry
135 g
Skim milk
10 ml, (2 tsp, to glaze)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 190°C or 170°C fan forced. Put the apples in a saucepan and cover with 3 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook the apples over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened.
2
Transfer the apple to a 19cm pie dish. Sprinkle with the cinnamon or mixed spice and sugar, then add a squeeze of lemon juice. Turn the apples until everything is mixed together.
3
Remove the pastry from the fridge and roll out slightly to fit the top of the pie dish. Wet the rim of the pie dish with water and top with the pastry. Crimp the edges using a fork and prick the centre a few times.
4
Brush the top with the milk. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is cooked and golden. Leave to stand for a couple of minutes to cool before serving.
