INGREDIENTS:

SERVES 8
  • 1.3kg/3lb sweet, tart firm eating or cooking apples
  • 50g/2oz/¼ cup caster (superfine) sugar
  • 10ml/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
  • 25g/1oz/2 tablespoon butter, diced
  • 30-45ml/2-3 tablespoon honey
FOR THE CRUST
  • 275g/10oz/2½ cups plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 2.5ml/½ tsp salt
  • 115g/4oz/½ cup cold butter, cut into pieces
  • 60g/2¼oz/generous ⅓ cup cold white vegetable fat (shortening), cut into pieces 90ml/5-6 tablespoon iced water.

STEPS:

  1. For the crust, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the butter and fat and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  2. With a fork, stir in just enough water to bind the dough. Gather into a ball, wrap in clear film (plastic wrap), and chill for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Place a baking sheet in the centre the oven and preheat to 200°C/ 400 F/Gas 6.
  4. Peel, core, and slice the apples. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the apples, lemon rind and juice, and stir.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a circle about 30cm/12in in diameter. Transfer to a 23cm/9in diameter deep pie dish; leave the dough hanging over the edge. Fill with the apple slices.
  6. Fold in the edges and crimp loosely for a decorative border. Dot the apples with diced butter.
  7. Bake on the hot sheet until the pastry is golden and the apples are tender, about 45 minutes.
  8. Melt the honey in a pan and brush over the apples to glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.
