This one is a traditional British, and also Irish, one. Cinnamon is optional, and not a traditional, flavor in the UK.

03 Method

Step 1

Place the flour, butter and salt into a large, clean bowl.
Step 2

Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, working as quickly as possible to prevent the dough becoming warm.
Step 3

Add the water to the mixture and using a cold knife stir until the dough binds together, add more cold water a teaspoon at a time if the mixture is too dry.
Step 4

Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill for a minimum of 15 minutes, up to 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 425 °F.
Step 5

Simmer the apples with the lemon juice and water in a large pan until soft. Add the sugar and cinnamon to the cooked apples. Remove from the heat and add the butter and leave to cool.
Step 6

Roll out half the pastry and line a 7" (13 cm) pie dish. Put the cooled, cooked apple mixture into the pastry case.
Step 7

Roll out the remaining pastry to make a lid for the pie. Damp the edges of the pastry in the dish with a little cold water, cover with the lid, press the edges firmly together and crimp to decorate.
Step 8

Brush the top of the pie with milk and bake in the middle of a hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 9

Serve hot or cold with cream, ice cream or custard sauce.
