Recipe's preparation

    THE FILLING
  1. Place lemon rind and sugar in the Thermomix bowl and mill for 10 secs / sp 9

    Add sliced apple and water and cook for 15 mins / 90° / reverse / sp 1. I use a V-slicer for slicing my apples so they are very thin... you may need to cook your apples slightly longer if yours are sliced by hand and they don't seem cooked enough.

    Add the sultanas or blueberries (if using) and mix 1 min / reverse / sp 1.

    Pour the cooked apple mixture into the simmer basket to drain the excess liquid. Set aside and allow to cool.
    2. THE PASTRY
  2. Add raw sugar to the TM bowl and mill for 10 secs / sp 9.

    Add butter and beat for about 30 secs / sp 4, until pale and creamy. Scrape down sides.

    Add egg, vanilla and flours and knead until it comes together as a ball. Leave the MC off / Closed lid / Dough mode. No need to set the time as you will see when to turn it off in under a minute.

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured Thermomat and knead until smooth. Wrap in the Thermomat and place in the fridge for half an hour to chill.
    3. HOW TO ASSEMBLE
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°. Line a 20cm spring-form tin with baking paper.

    Remove one third of the dough and wrap it back up in some plastic wrap and place in the fridge until ready (this is for the lattice top).

    Place the remaining 2/3 of dough inside a folded Thermomat and roll out to about 25cm circle. Place this rolled out dough inside the spring-form tin so the sides go about 2.5cm up the wall.

    Transfer the apple/blueberry filling to the pastry-lined tin.

    Remove the "top" pastry from the fridge and place it inside the folded Thermomat and roll it out to about 20cm circle. Then, using the TM Spatula only (never use metal on the Thermomat!!), cut 2cm-wide strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling and press to seal. Sprinkle with a couple of teaspoons of raw sugar.

    Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes before removing it from the tin.

    Serve warm with cream, custard or HOME MADE ICE-CREAM!! (I have also published a recipe for my version of vanilla ice-cream) Yum!!

    Lovely, I used gluten free flour and it still seemed to turn out ok, If you use cooking apples they don't need to to cook so long unless you want them smooth and not in slices.

    Delicious. Very similar to one my mother used to make ❤️

    I cut the lattice strips quite thinly which makes it look amazing.

  • sorry but this was not rated

    sorry but this was not rated well with my taste testers, the apple didn't seem cooked enough and there was not enough flavour in with the apples. I might try extending the cooking time with more water and some vanilla essence. Very happy with the pastry

    I love KISS Cooking.....Keep it Simple Silly
