Season: Autumn Spring Summer 

Apple Pie

March 6, 2017

Cooking time: 10 to 30 mins

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients:

For the pastry:
255g/9oz plain flour
pinch of salt
140g/5oz hard margarine or butter
6 tsp cold water
For the filling:
3 large Bramley cooking apples, chopped, stewed and cooled
sugar, to taste
caster sugar, to serve

*available from Hampshire Farmers’ Markets

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
  • Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl.
  • Rub in the margarine or butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Add the cold water to the flour mixture. Using a knife, mix the water into the flour, using your hand to firm up the mixture. The pastry should be of an even colour and suitable consistency for rolling.
  • Divide the pastry into two halves. Take one half and roll it out so that it is big enough to cover an 20cm/8in enamel or aluminium plate. Trim the edges with a knife using the edge of the plate as your guide.
  • Cover the pastry with the stewed apples and sprinkle with sugar to taste.
  • Roll out the other half of the pastry. Moisten the edge of the bottom layer of pastry and place the second piece on top.
  • Press down on the pastry edges, making sure that they are properly sealed. Trim off any excess pastry with a knife in a downward motion, again using the plate as your guide.
  • Flute the edges with a pinching action using your fingers and thumb.
  • Prick the surface of the pastry lightly before placing the pie in the oven. Cook for 20-30 minutes.
  • When the pie is cooked it should move slightly on the plate when gently shaken.
  • Slide on to a serving plate, dust with caster sugar and serve.
