Grandads Really Easy Quick Apple Pie
The quickest apple pie you will ever make
Ingredients
- 3 Large cooking apples
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 pinch Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Mixed Spice
- 1 Egg beaten
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 packet Ready Rolled Shortcrust Pastry
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar optional
- Ice Cream or Crème Fraîche to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200℃/Fan 180℃/Gas 6.
- Core the apples, then cut them into even-sized chunks so they all cook in the same amount of time.
- Put the apple chunks into a pie dish, drizzle over the honey and sprinkle over the cinnamon and mixed spice.
- Add the water to the pie dish.
- Brush the edges of the pie dish with beaten egg.
- Unroll the pastry and lay it over the top of the apple mixture overlapping the edges of the pie dish. Press the pastry edges onto the pie dish with a fork to create a seal.
- Make a small cut in the centre of the pastry so that the air can escape during cooking, then brush with the remaining beaten egg.
- If you like a bit of crunch on the pastry topping sprinkle over the brown sugar.
- Bake the pie in the oven for 20-30 minutes until the pastry is golden and sandy in appearance and the apple filling is bubbling and hot.
- Serve while still warm with crème fraîche, ice cream or natural yoghurt.
