Ready-rolled pastry makes this dessert super easy to make, yet still very delicious.
Ingredients:
- 11 ounces ready rolled shortcrust pastry
- 4 large cooking apples
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup demerara sugar
Instructions:
- Remove the pastry from the fridge before using
- Preheat the oven to 340℉
- Unroll the pastry
- Take an ovenproof dish and use it to measure up how much pastry you’ll need for the base and sides, and then cut this out
- Lightly grease the ovenproof dish and then place the pastry that you’ve cut into it, pressing it into the edges so it forms the base and sides of the pie
- With the remained of the pastry, you can form it into a ball and then roll it out to the same thickness as the rest and form it into the shape of the ovenproof dish to be used as the lid
- Peel and decore the apples and chop them into slices, about 1 inch thick
- Place the apples into the pie base in even layers
- Mix the cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar in a bowl
- Sprinkle the sugar and spices mixture over the apple slices and mix it throughout
- Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the apples, and then cover the pie with the pastry lid
- Place in the oven for about 40 minutes, until the pastry is cooked and slightly browned
