This apple pie recipe is super easy and tastes absolutely delicious. It's a great way to use up any bruised apples and is a tasty treat.
I hate food waste, so find an apple pie a brilliant way to use up apples that have seen better days.
Apple pie recipe
Here's how to make a delicious apple pie:
After you've peeled (eat that it's yummy!), cored and chopped up your apples you're ready to get them into your pie.
Don't worry too much about the apple pieces being the same sizes - just chop them roughly.
Pat the apple dry slightly, so there's not too much moisture with a tea towel or kitchen roll. Then coat it in a bowl with the cinnamon, sugar and flour, so the apples are fully covered.
Get the pie ready by rolling out the puff pastry. Place ⅔ of the pastry into the base of a baking tin. Leave a small lip on the edge so you can use this to seal the top. Save the remaining ⅓ of the pastry to use it for the top of the pie.
Pop the apples into the pie, add the pastry lid on top and seal the edges. Brush the top with egg white and sprinkle a little sugar on top.
Also, it's a good idea to add a few holes in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
You can make a little decoration with any leftover pastry if you've got time 🙂
Once it's cooked, it will have a lovely golden brown on top. Serve with homemade custard or ice cream.

Brush with just beaten white of the egg? Does that come out golden coloured ?

Yes, if you brush the pastry with egg and then sprinkle with sugar, it will bake with a golden colour.
