Granny's Apple Pie

Ingredients

• Pastry

  • 1 3/4 cups plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Gregg's Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Shreddo Quality Shortening
  • pinch of salt
  • cold water

• Filling

  • 565g stewed apples
  • 1/4 tsp Gregg's Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Gregg's Ground Cloves
  • 2 Tbsp sugar

Method

Combine the flour, baking powder, Gregg's Cinnamon and SHREDDO Quality Shortening in a bowl or food processor. Add enough cold water to make a soft dough.

Roll dough into a ball, wrap in cling wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 200°C and grease a 20 - 23cm pie dish.

Roll out two thirds of the pastry and use to line the base of the pie dish. Mix filling ingredients together and place in pie crust.

Roll out remaining one third pastry. Brush pie edges with milk and place pastry top on. Press edges firmly to seal and trim any excess pastry. Pierce the top with knife to allow steam to escape. Brush top of pie with milk.

Bake in oven for 35 - 40 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
