Traditional Apple Pie

Ingredients

Serves 4

225g (8oz) plain flour
Pinch of salt
100g (4oz) low fat margarine
Cold water to mix

For the filling:
500g (1lb) cooking apples
225g (8oz) eating apples
4 tbsp Hermesetas Granulated
1 tsp grated lemon rind
2 cloves

Preparation

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the margarine and rub it in until evenly distributed. Stir in sufficient water to make a soft but not sticky dough, wrap the pastry and chill until required.

Preheat oven to 200ºC (400ºF, Gas Mark 6). Peel, core, and slice both the cooking and dessert apples and mix with the Hermesetas Granulated, lemon rind and cloves.

Turn the filling into a 900ml/ ½ pt pie dish. Cover the filling with the pastry and sprinkle the surface with a little extra Hermesetas Granulated.

Bake the pie for 20 minutes then reduce the heat to 180ºC (350ºF, Gas Mark 4) and cook for a further 20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the apples soft. Serve the dessert with custard if liked.
