Ingredients
Short Crust Pastry Base & Lattice
- 200 g cooked short-crust pastry
- 500 g full cream milk
- 6 'A' scoops (6g) Shape It Powder
Apple Pieces
- 400 g tinned apples
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 5 'A' scoops (5g) Shape It Powder
Apple Jelly
- 500 g clear apple juice
- 5 'A' scoops (5g) Shape It Powder
Instructions
Short Crust Pastry Base and Lattice
- Line a square cake tin with cling film and lightly spray it with oil.
- Prepare another layer of cling film on the bench and light spray with oil.
- Place the shortcrust pastry in a blender and blitz it into fine crumbs.
- In a medium saucepan over a medium heat, bring the milk and Shape It Powder to the boil and simmer the mixture gently for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the hot milk-Shape It mixture over the crumbs and blend at a high speed for 2–3 minutes, or until smooth.
- Spread half this mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake tin to a thickness of 5mm (for the base).
- Spread the other half of the mixture to the same thickness over the other prepared cling film (for the lattice).
- Cover both with cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until they set.
- To cut the lattice, cut the cooled shortcrust into 2cm widepieces and the same length as the base.
- Make a lattice shape with the shortcrust strips; this will sit on top of the finished pie.
Apple Pieces
- Line a square container with cling film and lightly spray it with oil.
- Place the apples, vanilla and cinnamon in a blender and blitz them at a high speed until smooth.
- In a medium saucepan over a medium heat, bring the apple mixture and Shape It Powder to the boil, stirring constantly.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared container, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for 2 hours or until it sets.
- Portion the mixture into desired pieces. We recommend 2cm cubes.
- Place these cubes into the prepared shortcrust base and set aside.
Apple Jelly
- In a medium saucepan over a medium heat, bring the apple juice and Shape It Powder to the boil and simmer gently for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Sit the mixture on the bench for 15 minutes to cool slightly, then gently pour it over the apple pieces in the prepared shortcrust base (just covering the apple pieces).
- Cover the pie with cling film and allow it to set completely in the fridge for 2–3 hours.
- Once it has cooled, place the prepared lattice over the top of the set apple jelly.
- Cut the pie into individual serving portions.
