Apple and Cranberry Pie
It went down a real treat. Todd was so happy when I gave it to him. It smelled amazing when it was baking and I am happy to say he gobbled the whole thing down in contentment. Now who’s a lucky boy then?
Serves one
A delicious idea I borrowed from blogger Aimee Twigger. The Toddster was more than pleased with this and there wasn’t any leftover to tempt me!
For the pastry:
50g of plain flour (1/3 cup all purpose)
30g unsalted cold butter, cut into bits(2 TBS)
pinch salt
For the filling:
1 large cooking apple, peeled and chopped
2 dessertspoons fresh cranberries (about 1/4 cup)
2 1/2 TBS sugar
1/2 tsp apple pie spice (see my side column on the right)
pinch salt
butter for dotting
You will also need:
milk for brushing
demerara sugar for sprinkling
(Turbinado sugar)
pouring cream or custard
Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4. Have ready a large wide brimmed mug, large enough to hold your filling. Mine is about 4 inches in circumference.
Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt. Drop in the cold butter. Rub the butter in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the water and toss together with a fork. Bring the mixture together into a ball, kneading lightly. Remove about 1/3 of the ball and roll it into a long rope, long enough to measure around the circumference of your mug. Brush the edge of the mug with some milk and then press the rope around the edge to adhere. This is what your top pastry will stick to.
Roll out the remaining pastry, on a lightly floured surface, into a round large enough to cover the mug nnd then some. I used a floured 4 inch round fluted cutter to cut out an exact circle shape to fit on top. Brush the pastry edge of the mug lightly with some milk.
Place onto a baking tray ad bake in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and the apples are cooked. Serve warm with or without pouring cream or custard.
