      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

Transferring the dough from your TM mat to the cake tin:-
I cover my TM Mat with cling wrap, place the dough on top of this, then place another piece of cling wrap on top of my dough.
I then roll the dough to the required size.
(The cling wrap stops the dough sticking to the rolling pin, and breaking up too much).
Peel off the top layer of cling wrap and you will find that you can easily lift and flip the pastry (holding the bottom piece of cling wrap) on to the apples.
Now all you need to do is peel off the cling wrap!
Easy!!!

  • If you use gluten free flour, add one extra egg....

    If you use gluten free flour, add one extra egg. That binds the pastry much better.

    I saved this recipe to make on a day my daughter ended up in hospital. A quick phone call to hubby and he made it. Says it's 'his' recipe now.
    Too easy.
