Gran’s Apple Pie
2 good Tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups SR flour
a little water
800g tin apples
a little extra sugar to taste
egg and milk for eggwash
Pastry:
Beat butter and sugar. Add egg, then add flour. Mix to form a dough (Add water if dough is too dry). Roll out pastry, line base of pan with pastry (leave some pastry for a lid).
Filling:
Heat up pie apples, stir in sugar (enough to taste) – or omit completely if you don’t like it too sweet. You could also add your own choice of flavours here – cinnamon might be nice. Cool apples slightly. Pour into pastry base. Top pie with pastry lid. Poke holes in top. Brush with egg wash.
Bake in 180 C oven until golden brown.
