Let’s Get Down to Business

Now, you might be thinking to yourself, “Wow, that pie looks amazing, but there’s no way I could ever make something that delicious.” But fear not, my friend. Nigella’s got your back.

Here’s what you’ll need for the crust:

• 225g plain flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon caster sugar
• 110g unsalted butter, frozen
• 2 tablespoons iced water

And for the filling, you’ll need:

• 6-7 cooking apples (depending on size)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 75g unsalted butter
• 75g caster sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Once you’ve got everything you need, here’s what you need to do:

1. Mix the flour, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl.
2. Grate the frozen butter into the bowl and mix everything together until it looks like breadcrumbs.
3. Add the iced water and mix until it comes together as a dough.
4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. While the dough is chilling, peel, core, and slice your apples.
6. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the apples, lemon juice, sugar, and spices. Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes or until the apples are soft.
7. Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
8. Roll out your dough on a floured surface until it’s about 5mm thick.
9. Place the rolled-out pastry into a 20cm pie dish and trim the edges.
10. Fill the pie with the cooked apples.
11. Roll out the remaining pastry and cut it into strips.
12. Use the strips to make a lattice pattern on top of the pie.
13. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle some sugar on top.
14. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

In Conclusion
