Sweet and refreshing pureed apple pieces inside a shortcrust pastry, served with clotted cream.

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.

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.

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.
