    • For the Filling
      • 1/4 cup Cup milk
      • 25 g Butter
      • 1 tsp. Ground cinnamon
      • 4 tsp. Cold water
      • 110 g Sugar
      • 2 tbsp. Lemon juice
      • 700 g Cooking apples (peeled, cored and quartered)
    • For the Pastry
      • 110 g Cubed butter
      • 1/4 tsp. Salt
      • 200 g All-purpose flour
    03 Method
    • Step 1
      Place the flour, butter and salt into a large, clean bowl.
    • Step 2
      Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, working as quickly as possible to prevent the dough becoming warm.
    • Step 3
      Add the water to the mixture and using a cold knife stir until the dough binds together, add more cold water a teaspoon at a time if the mixture is too dry.
    • Step 4
      Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill for a minimum of 15 minutes, up to 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 425 °F.
    • Step 5
      Simmer the apples with the lemon juice and water in a large pan until soft. Add the sugar and cinnamon to the cooked apples. Remove from the heat and add the butter and leave to cool.
    • Step 6
      Roll out half the pastry and line a 7" (13 cm) pie dish. Put the cooled, cooked apple mixture into the pastry case.
    • Step 7
      Roll out the remaining pastry to make a lid for the pie. Damp the edges of the pastry in the dish with a little cold water, cover with the lid, press the edges firmly together and crimp to decorate.
    • Step 8
      Brush the top of the pie with milk and bake in the middle of a hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
    • Step 9
      Serve hot or cold with cream, ice cream or custard sauce.
