Apple Pie

Apple Pie

"Pie is the original street food: the pastry was irrelevant and in fact mostly discarded. It served as packaging for the filling; the handheld food. Going back to Romans, appearing in England in the twelfth century, the crust back then was called ‘coffyn’ – how lovely. I have twisted the classic a little by making sweetened crust but if you use tart cooking apples and not a lot of sugar in the filling, it creates a nice balance. The cut out shapes top is my favourite – no lattice skills necessary. And if you lightly cook the filling, you can bake the pie to a lighter crust which is precisely how I like it best."
