Classic apple pie
Average rating:
There's nothing like an easy to make homemade apple pie - serve with custard or ice cream for a wholesome and tasty pudding. Better than buying it from a shop.

Ingredients
Apples are seasonable from August to March, but become flavourless after February. Many things are suggested for the flavouring of apple pie
225g (8oz) PastryApples - allow 225g (2lbs) of apples for a pie for 6 personsTo every 450g (1lb) unpeeled apples allow:
- 50g (2oz) moist sugar (soft brown sugar)
- 1tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1egg white
- 1/2tsp lemon peel, finely minced
- Caster sugar
- Icing (optional)
To Serve:
- Rum and raisin ice cream
Method
- Peel, core and slice the apples.
- Put into a deep pie dish, just capable of holding them, with the sugar, placing a small cup upside down in the middle of them.
- Place a border of pastry around the edge of the dish. Cover with pastry and ornament as desired. Bake at 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5 for 30 mins.
- Remove from the oven. Brush the pie with lightly whisked egg white, sprinkle with some caster sugar and a few drops of water.
- Put the pie back into the oven and finish baking for 10 - 15 mins and being careful that it does not catch or burn, which it is very liable to do after the crust is iced.
- If made with a plain crust, the icing may be omitted.
- Serve with two scoops of rum and raisin ice cream
