Apple pie and custard or Apple pie and ice cream, or with simple good old double cream (heavy cream) or maybe you like it on its own. My family and I are divided, I love it with custard, Chris loves it with ice cream and the kids love it with both! and why not? This is a beautiful classic dessert and just the best thing to serve after a big Sunday roast, you will love the oohs and aahs of delight when you bring this to the table, it just puts a smile on everyone’s face, and a little smug one for you too. It’s easier than it looks and I have tested this recipe thoroughly for you and can guarantee a crisp, delicious, buttery pastry top with sweet and tangy apple pie filling and just the right amount of warming winter spices to make you feel like a domestic goddess in your very own kitchen, this is definitely one of our favourites and hopefully will be yours too.
*Note on the apples:
Choose apples that have the same cooking time and give a good balance of sweetness and sharpness. I recommend using Bramley and Jazz apples, you can use Granny Smith and Jazz or Pink Lady, or you can just use Bramley apples if you prefer. 👩🍳PRO TIP Don’t forget to add the lemon juice, as this will stop your apples from going brown. Try to keep your apple slices the same size, and remember to pack them in and pile them high! This is Autumn on a plate for me, it’s so beautiful I almost didn’t want to cut into it. Bringing this to the table on a cold and windy Sunday afternoon will bring smiles all round, as well as a lovely warm glow to your cheeks, (and a happy tummy) especially with lashings of warm custard. What will you serve with yours? Custard, Ice Cream or be a devil and serve both. Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe.
