Apple Pie

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets short crust pastry
  •  Approx 8 apples peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 TBSP flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 220 celcius. Grease a pie dish.
  2. Melt the butter in the saucepan, add flour and mix to paste.
  3. Add water and sugars and bring to the boil. Reduce temp and let simmer.
  4. Place pastry in base of pie. Add apples to fill it right up (mounding is fine!)
  5. Lattice pastry across the top.
  6. Pour the sugar liquid gently over the pie crust, slowly to make sure it doesn’t run off.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes at the high temp of 220, then reduce temperature to 175 for the remaining 30-40 minute cook time.
