Apple Pie

Methods

• Preheat oven to 180º C. Grease a baking tray.
• To make short crust pastry, sieve flour with salt into a mixing bowl. Add butter and rub it in with finger tips till the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add 1 cup chilled water and knead into dough.
• Roll out the dough to about 3 mm thickness. Cut into thin strips.
• To make apple filling, peel the apples and core. Then scoop out flesh from the center to make apple cups. Keep the scooped out flesh in a bowl.
• Add sponge cake crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon powder and butter and mix well.
• Stuff this mixture into the apple cups. Place the dough strips on the top of both the apples in a criss-cross pattern and cover them completely. Brush milk over them and keep them on the baking tray.
• Keep the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
• Place the apple pies on a serving plate and sprinkle some icing sugar on it. Serve.
