    1/3 cup (75g) Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar
    125g unsalted Tararua Butter, chilled and cubed
    1 large egg, separated
    ¼ cup (60ml) ice cold water, approximately

    Filling
    10 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored & thinly sliced
    ¼ cup (60ml) water
    2 tsps lemon juice
    1/3 cup (75g) Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar

Method

    Pastry
    Process flours, Edmonds Custard Powder, Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar and Tararua Butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and cold water and process until ingredients just come together. Knead dough on lightly floured surface into a smooth ball. Divide dough into two portions; 2/3 for the base and sides and 1/3 for the lid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.
    Preheat oven to 190°C conventional (170°C fan forced).

    Filling
    Combine apples, water and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cover. Cook for 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain in colander. Ensure as much liquid as possible is drained. Discard liquid. Combine apples with Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar, zest, spices and Edmonds Standard Grade Flour. Allow to cool.
    Roll large portion of pastry between two sheets non-stick baking paper until large enough to line base and sides of a greased 22cm springform pan.
    Spoon apple filling into pastry case. Fold over pastry from sides to partly cover the top of the apples. Brush top of pastry with egg white.
    Roll remaining pastry and place over apple filling to form a pie. Press edges together to seal. Cut two slits in top.
    Brush remaining egg white over top of pie and sprinkle with extra Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Rest pie 10 minutes before serving with whipped Meadow Fresh Original Cream.

Wow Love this pie and so easy to make. Kitchen smelt divine whilst cooking. The family enjoyed it and such a nice big pie but none left over sadly. Yum

it was horrible

This was my first attempt making apple pie and it was for a dinner party.. rave reviews all round. My husband is a connoisseur of apple pie and said it is truly the best he has ever eaten!! Thank you.

Delicious and easy to make apple pie. Love the pastry recipe.
Oh, and the smell of it baking in the oven is Devine!
We served it with some French vanilla ice cream and it was awesome.
It also tastes just as good cold the next day.
I think with some practise I could make it look a bit prettier. Which is a good excuse to make it again!

Lovely balance of flavour in this recipe, enough spice to enhance the apples without taking away from the lovely fresh apple taste. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you Chelsea Sugar!!

Awesum I'm so gonna make some

If I don't have custard powder can I substitute cornstarch?
CHELSEA: Hi there, yes you could. You could add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract as well, to match the flavour of the custard powder.
