Filling:
1kg Bramley apples
150g/ ¾ cup caster sugar
½ – 1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp flour

Pastry:
225g butter, cold and cut into cubes
50g / ⅕ cup golden caster sugar, plus extra
2 eggs
350g / 3 cups plain flour

Serve with either vanilla ice cream or whipped cream – Yummy!
You will need a Pie dish 22cm diameter

Instructions
Start by making the pastry first as it needs to be chilled
Put the flour and butter into a food processor if you have one and pulse it until it becomes breadcrumbs.
If you don’t have a processor just use a big bowl and rub the two together until it turns into breadcrumb consistency
Then add the sugar, 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk
Save the left over egg white for later
Keep pulsing (or mixing) until it forms big lumps then you can form it into a ball with your hands Wrap the pastry in cling film and pop in the fridge for 30 – 45 minutes

While it is chilling, you can prepare your apples now
Peel and core them, then chop into small chunks and leave to one side
In a large bowl big enough to fit the apples, mix the sugar, cinnamon and flour together
Chuck the apples into the mixture and give it a good stir around making sure they are all covered

Turn oven on! Gas 5 / 190c / 370F
Now you can start to roll the pastry out
Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin
Cut ⅓ of the pastry off and put back in the fridge – that bit is for the top
Roll the remaining pastry out so that it is big enough to make and line the base of your pie dish
Cut any pastry off that is hanging over the sides, but make sure you leave enough so you can pinch the top and bottom together later.
Pour the apples into your pie dish

Next roll out the leftover pastry so that it will fit over the top of the pie
Using the left over egg whites, brush some over the edges of the base
Place your pastry on top and seal together by pinching it with your finger and thumb
Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in the top of the pie, as this will let the steam out when the apples cook
You can also use any leftover pastry and make leaf shapes to decorate the top
Brush the pie all over with egg white and then sprinkle with sugar
Place in the oven for 45 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top

Serve hot, warm or cold – it’s all good!
This does go exceptionally well with vanilla ice cream or just really thick whipped cream… oh la la!
