Make the pie

Layer the bottom of the oven dish with some sliced apples. Sprinkle over the cinnamon and sugar mix, then add another layer of apples.

Finally dot knobs of butter around the dish.

Step 5:

Lay the pastry

Lay the pre-rolled short crust pastry over the dish and lightly push down the edges of the pastry with your fingertips - a technique known as crimping. Trim away any excess pastry and finally, make roughly eight small horizontal incisions in the pastry to help the pie breath.
