My mum's recipe, adapted a little bit by me. I didn't let the pastry chill long enough and it melted over the apples in the oven, which looked quite pretty, and it was so light, crisp and buttery, so I didn't mind...

This recipe is prepared in a spring pan. I prefer using margarine to make it dairy free and usually use 2 Granny Smith apples and a couple of red apples.

My first piePrepare time about 2 hrs

I hand made some pastry, so I wanted to eat an apple pie flavored with lots of my favorite cinnamon.-Be careful not to burn your fingers when removing the plastic wrap after making the filling.-You can use broken castella cake because it will be covered with apple. About 1cm of cake at the bottom is good enough.-About half of the pastry will be left over from this recipe, so use the rest for another sweet. Recipe by nyonta

This pastry is simpler to make than puff pastry and contains less butter so doesn't taste too buttery. Without the need to fold the dough, this recipe is finished very easy.When kneading the pastry, use chilled butter and cold water, and knead it carefully so that you don't activate the gluten. If it becomes glutinous then the pie crust will become hard and the pie will lose some of its flavor. The skin on Jonathan apples will retain its lovely red color even when boiled, so if you leave some skin on it will make the pie look even better. If you don't have any Jonathan apples then add some lemon juice to the apples when boiling. I have specified 500 g apples in the ingredients list but you could probably fit in up to 1 kg.
