Ingredients:

400g shortcrust pastry
3 large cooking apples (Bramleys are best), chopped, stewed, and cooled (leave chunks, do not stew to a purée )
sugar, to taste
caster sugar to serve

Method:

Divide the pastry into two halves. Roll out one half on a lightly-floured work surface so that it's large enough to cover a 20cm pie dish. Trim the edges then fill with the stewed apples. Add sugar to taste then roll out the other half of the pastry until it's large enough to cover the pie. Moisten the edges of the bottom pastry half with water then lift the newly-rolled piece and use to cover the pie. Press down the pastry edges to seal with a fork then trim-off any excess.

Prick all over the top of the pie with a fork then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly golden. Allow to cool for a few minutes, transfer to a serving plate then dust with a little caster sugar and serve.
