Here’s a delicious dish taken from our newly-launched recipe book which is ideal for friend and family gatherings around the Easter holidays. No-one can turn down a slice of apple pie for dessert and this spiced JAZZ™ apple recipe takes some beating.

Ingredients

  • 5-6 JAZZ™ apples, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 packet shortcrust pastry

Method

  • Place the apples, spices and sugar in a large bowl and toss together to combine.
  • Generously butter a 20-25cm diameter round tin and line with sweet pastry.
  • Cover pastry with baking paper and fill base with dried chickpeas or dried lentils.
  • Blind bake for 10 minutes at 180°C, then remove base from oven and discard dried beans and baking paper.
  • Spoon spiced apple mix into blind-baked base.
  • Cover apple with desired pastry design – you might like to try a simple lattice, a plain full top or get creative with braiding and patterns.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 180°C or until golden.
  • For an optional sheen and hint of sweetness, brush pastry with warm apricot jam when removed from oven.
  • Serve warm with ice cream, custard or whipped cream.
