Servings: persons

1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup flour
5 tbsp cold butter, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sugar, plus additional 1 tbsp, for sprinkling
1 None egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk, plus additional 1 tbsp, for brushing
None None FOR THE FILLING
2 lbs medium apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup golden raisins
1 tsp mixed spice, such as pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp finely grated lemon peel
None None Whipped cream, to serve

1
Grease a 12 x 8-inch baking pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, extending the paper 2 inches over the long sides.
2
Sift the flours into a medium bowl. Rub in the butter. Stir in the sugar, egg and enough milk (about 1/4 cup) to make a firm dough. Knead on a floured work surface until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 mins.
3
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. For the apple pie filling, combine the apple, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 mins or until the apple softens. Remove from the heat and stir in the raisins, spice and lemon peel. Cool.
4
Divide the dough in half. Roll one half large enough to cover the bottom of the prepared pan. Press firmly into the pan. Spread the apple filling over the dough. Roll the remaining dough large enough to cover the filling. Place dough over the top. Brush with 1 tbsp milk and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar.
5
Bake for about 25 mins. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream. For extra flavor, stir ground nutmeg or cinnamon into the cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
