Apple Pie:

4 cups self raising flour
1 cup brown sugar
200g butter chopped
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
8-10 large apples
Icing sugar (decoration)

Pre heat oven to 200oC

Place flour, sugar, butter and 1 tsp of cinnamon in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until mixture is clumping together.

Then press 2/3 of the flour mixture into a greased 23cm cake tin ( I used a spring form cake tin as it is easier to take off later). Press mixture down onto the bottom of the cake, and a couple of cms up the side.

Peel and thinly slice the apples, discarding the cores. Place apples slices in a large bowl and then drain any excess liquid. Once drained mix in the lemon juice and remaining cinnamon. Once all mixed through place apple in the cake tin pressing down firmly (the apples will be quite high).

Then sprinkle the remaining flour mixture over the top of pie, and then place in oven for 40mins or until golden brown and cooked through ( note the top of the pie may get caught in places, this is normal)

Once cooked pull out and let cool in the tin for a good 20 minutes or until the pie is nearly at room temperature

Once cooled take out of tin and sprinkle icing sugar over top and enjoy!
