Apple Pie…  YUM on its own or get creative, sprinkle the apples with a little cinnamon and/ or nutmeg, or add another fruit to the apples - cooked rhubarb, blueberries, sultanas, or your choice of crushed nuts.  Or try another fruit on its own. Double the recipe for a larger whanau… keeps for about 3 days if you can!

Ingredients
2 cups self-raising flour (or plain flour + 1 tsp baking soda)

1 cup sugar  

3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced/diced
125g butter or margarine
1 egg

Pre-heat oven to 180

Cream butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl while it sits in hot water, OR soften butter in small saucepan on stovetop/ in a small bowl in the microwave,

Beat egg into creamed butter and sugar mixture with a fork

Add self-raising flour (or plain flour + 1 tsp baking soda) into mixture & mix well (preferably with a wooden spoon) till mixture is wrapped around the mixing utensil & bowl sides are clean

Mixture should be soft and gelled together – if not a little milk can be added.

Line a medium baking dish with sliced or cubed apples (can be slightly cooked first if desired)

Spread mixture over apples as well as you can (spreads further while cooking so will fill gaps if not too big)

Bake at 180 C for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
