Servings

Ingredients

2 Sheets shortcrust pastry (or your favourite pie crust)
6 Medium apples, peeled, cored, sliced
1/2 cup white Sugar
1/4 cup brown Sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
2 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
40 g butter, cut into small cubes
1 Egg, beaten, for brushing
1 tbsp extra sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a pie dish with one sheet of pastry, letting it overhang slightly.
In a large bowl, toss apple slices with sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, flour and lemon juice.
Tip apples into the pastry shell and dot with butter.
Cover with the second sheet of pastry, trim and crimp edges to seal, then cut a few small slits on top.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with extra sugar.
Bake 40–50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Cool slightly before slicing.
