Day 68 - Apple Pie
Take some pastry from the freezer that you'd prepared earlier (like, for fruit mince tarts at Christmas) .
Peel 6 granny smith apples. Cut into quarters, remove core and seeds. Cut each quarter into thirds lengthwise.
In a saucepan melt a little nob of butter.
Add apples and a dash of lemon juice, cook for about 5 minutes.
Add a cup of berries (tonight I used frozen cranberries - about 125g)
Add a handful or two of sugar, to your liking
Cook for a further 5 minutes
Sprinkle through 1-2 tblsp plain flour.
Pour into pastry case.
Put pastry over the top. Cut slits in pastry, brush with mix of egg yold and milk, sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Bake at 200C for 1 hour (cover if pastry starts browning too quickly).
Let sit for 15 minutes before cutting.
Eat with lashings of ice cream, cream, custard or all or whatever you have or prefer. Divine.

way to go for picking up where you not-quite-left-off...
how do you freeze your pastry? in rolled out sheets or balls or what?
in a disc. Probably about 1-2cm, maybe 3cm high?
thanks, because I've done the freeze in a ball thing and that's never worked for me
