Shortbread Apple Pie

Name: Shortbread Apple Pie
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 320 g Plain flour; 100 g Caster sugar; 1/4 tsp Salt; 150 g Butter; 2 Large egg yolks; 550 g Apples; 50 g Light brown sugar; 1/2 tsp Cinnamon; 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg; 1 tbsp Flour

This was a new recipe for us and it's far from our traditional apple tart. But believe me it did not disappoint. It has delicious shortbread casing, that's buttery and almost crumble like. Pairing this with the tart apples that have plenty of warm spices and sugar, balance it beautifully. The fact my Granda said he could eat it all leaves no question with this one! The only problem you'll have is, what do you serve it with? Custard, freshly whipped cream or ice cream? I'll always have the lot, or as I've termed it the 'Trifecta'!

Step 1

Get your flour, sugar and salt into a food processor and blitz these together. Now add your butter blitzing during or between each addition until it forms a coarse meal. Drizzle your egg yolks in, continuously blitzing until it forms a crumb. If the mixture clumps at the bottom use a knife to scrape this, mixing it through.
