Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
200 g raspberries
55 g caster sugar
vanilla paste
1 free-range egg, beaten
almond flakes
Icing sugar, for dusting

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Start by making this shortcrust pastry. Roll out two-thirds of the shortcrust pastry to a thickness of 1⁄2 cm. Line 6 x 8 cm pastry cases with the pastry, then blind-bake for 10 minutes.

To make the filling, peel and dice the Granny Smith apples, then mix with the raspberries, caster sugar and vanilla paste.

Fill each pie, cover with the remaining pastry, pinching the edges to secure. Make a small incision in the top of each pie, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with flaked almonds.

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden. Dust with icing sugar.

Cook's note: For best results, chill pastry for ten minutes in the pie dish before baking.
