Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 2 sheets shortcrust pastry or see my Instagram highlights for my pastry recipe
  • 2 large bramley apples peeled, cored, and cubed
  • 3 large braeburn apples peeled, cored, and cubed
  • 100 ml water
  • 90 g white granulated sugar
  • 35 g dark brown sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp each of vanilla and almond extract
  • 1.5 tbsp almond butter

Eggwash:

  • 1/2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp syrup maple/golden/agave
  • 1 tsp butter

Instructions
 

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 220c fan with a pizza stone/oven tray placed on the lower 1/3rd rack
  • Simmer water, sugars, and cinnamon stick together on medium heat, until reduced by half, thickened, and foaming. This will form your sugar syrup ~5-7mins
  • Turn the heat off and pour into a wide based pan with your apples
  • Add cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and almond extract
  • Place on medium heat for ~12 mins until no liquid remains. Bramley apples should be fully softened and the braeburn will have softened slightly
  • Turn the heat off, add your almond butter and mix to combine. Adding the butter whilst apples are hot will allow for a more even distribution. Cool completely, then refrigerate till cold
  • Fill pie base with the apples and place your top crust on top, cut any excess away and crimp to your desired style
  • Heat your eggwash ingredients together in the microwave for 10s, and mix to combine
  • Create a minimum of 4 slits on the top pastry for steam venting, brush make-shift eggwash and bake on the preheated tray for 10 mins at 220'C. Reduce temp to 170'C and continue baking for 40-45mins or until golden
  • Allow to cool for 30 mins before cutting into the pie
