Ingredients:
- 8 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced
- ⅓ cup caster sugar
- 1½ Tbsp brandy, optional
- ¾ cup sultanas (optional)
- ⅔ cup water
- 4 sheets ready rolled frozen puff pastry, thawed
- Sugar for sprinkling
- Serve with custard or cream
Let's make it:
Step 1:
In a pot on medium heat add the apples, cinnamon, lemon rind and juice, sugar, brandy, sultanas and water. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer, allow to cook until apples are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
Step 2:
Preheat the Sunbeam Pie Magic®. Cut out the base and top from the pastry sheets, using the Pie Maker cutter.
Step 3:
Place the pastry base into the pre heated Pie Maker. Carefully scoop ½ cup of the pie filling into the pie cavity. Place the pastry top over the filling and sprinkle with sugar. Repeat the same process until the Pie Maker is full.
Step 4:
Cook the pies until golden brown, approximately 8 minutes. Serve whilst hot with custard or cream or cool down and freeze for up to 6 months.
Cook's Tip:
For a very simple Apple Pie, use tinned pie apple and fold through sultanas if desired.
