Temp:
190° c  -  370° f

Ingredients

  • 1 large tub of Cherries, pitted
  • 150 g Sugar
  • 300 g Shortcrust Pastry
  • 3 large Bramley Apples
  • Caster Sugar, for dusting

Step 1: Prepare the Apples

Peel the apples and cut into quite large chunks, add the sugar, and put in the oven for 20 minutes at 190 degrees celcius.

Step 2: Prepare the pastry

Grease a six-inch baking tin with butter. Lightly dust work surface and lightly roll out the pastry, turning frequently. Fold up the pastry and transfer to the tin, opening it up again into the corners of the tin. Trim off some of the excess over the rim of the tim. Make a ball of the remaining pastry and set aside.

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

Retrieve the apple that is now partly cooked, add the cherries and stir. Put this mixture into the pastry in the tin.

Step 4: Make the Top

Roll out the spare ball of dough into a long piece and cut into thin strips. Wet the edge of the pastry in the tin, and lay the thin strips over the top. Wet the top of the strips and dust with caster sugar.

Step 5: Bake

Put in the oven at 200 degrees celcius for 30 minutes, then lower to 140 degrees for another 30 minutes. Allow to cool, and serve.
