Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and core the apples, and then cut them into ¼-inch (6mm) thick slices.
- Place the apple slices in a bowl and toss with the sugar. Set aside.
- On a floured surface, roll out one pie crust ¼-inch (6mm) thick and line a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish with it.
- Pour the apple filling into the crust.
- Roll out the second pie crust a bit larger than the bottom crust and cut out decorative vent holes with a knife or small cookie cutter. Set aside the cutouts.
- Brush the edges of the bottom crust with egg wash before draping the top crust over the apples.
- Trim the edges so that about a ½-inch (12mm) of crust hangs past the edges of the pan. Tuck this overhang underneath the bottom crust and crimp all around with your fingers or a fork to seal. If you wish, decorate the edges of the pie with the cutouts, using egg wash to help the pastry adhere.
- Brush the pastry with the egg wash and bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. (if the pastry starts to over-brown before the apples are cooked, cover the pie with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
- Let cool down for 30 minutes before serving with ice cream. Store leftovers, loosely covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days.
IRISH APPLE TART RECIPE
This is my Nanny Betty's Traditional Irish Apple Tart recipe. This shortcrust Irish apple tart is made how my nan and my wife love it. The apples are soft and sweet with just a touch of tartness. Fantastic with fresh whipped cream and a nice cup of tea. Just as my nan and wife love it.

Steps:
- Sift the flour in to a large mixing bowl along with the salt and caster sugar. With a knife cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour. My nan would would always hold the block of butter and with a butter knife cut slivers off into the flour.
- Rub the soft butter into the flour to create a breadcrumb like consistency. The key to a light pastry is to rub the butter into the flour while holding your hands above the bowl. This allows the flour to fall keeping air in the mixture and preventing a tough pastry.
- Once the butter is combined add the water or milk and mix with your hand in a claw shape to bring the mixture clings together. Empty the bowl out onto a floured work surface and fold to bring all the mixture together into a smooth pastry.
- Wrap pastry in clingfilm and place in your fridge to rest for approx 20 min. While this is resting you can preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6 then wash, peel and core your cooking apples then slice them and place in a bowl. You can sprinkle a little lemon juice over them to prevent them browning if you like but don't put them in a bowl of water. They will just absorb the water and you will loose a lot of flavour.
- Once this is complete you can take your pastry out and divide it into two balls, one slightly bigger than the other. The small pastry ball will be used for the base while the bigger will be used for the top as it will need to cover the mound of sliced cooking apples.
- My nan always used a dinner plate that had deep sides to make her apples tarts so that is what I use. If you like you can use a 23cm/9inch pie plate. Roll out the smaller pastry while keeping the second covered. Roll it to the size of your plate while leaving a little to overlap the edge.
- Take half of your apple slices and layer them around the pastry covering the base. Sprinkle half of your sugar over the layer then add the remaining apples followed by the last of the sugar ensuring that space is left around the edge of the pastry.
- Roll out the bigger ball of pasty to a size slightly bigger than the plate. Take a little bit of water or egg wash and rub it around the edge of the bottom layer of pastry. Transfer the top layer of pastry by rolling it over your rolling pin and folding it out over the apples. Ensure that there is a little bit of pastry hanging over the edge and pull and stretch to fit if needed.
- With a sharp knife, hold the plate up with one hand and with the other hand run the edge of the blade around the plate to cut off the excess pastry. I use to love watching my nan doing this and she always seemed to trim it all in one smooth motion. A little twist of the wrist and the sound of the knife on the plate brings back fond memories.
- Take a fork or the edge of a butter knife and press all around the edge of the pastry to seal. You can be as decorative as you like to create a nice, sealed crust.
- With the remaining pastry you can create little decorations for the apple tarts like leaves. This was always my job when I was a kid and I loved that I could help my nan out.
- Prod the pastry with a fork to allow the steam to release or cut four slits into the pastry near the center.
- Brush the pastry with a little milk or egg yolk mixed with milk to create a golden crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the pastry is nice and golden brown. When cooked the apples should be soft and sweet and the pastry should be fully cooked through and golden.
- The apple tart can be served dusted with a little icing sugar and a nice bit of fresh whipped cream. It is always better with a nice Irish cup of tea just as nanny Betty like. You can't be that. Enjoy.

AN IRISH APPLE TART ON A PLATE
"Every woman in Ireland knows her mother's Apple Pie Recipe; this recipe is passed down through generation after generation and in some families it is so secret they would not dare tell anyone outside the family. There is nothing nicer than walking into a traditional Irish kitchen and smelling the wonderful aroma of freshly baking Apple Pie except that is a slice of freshly baked Apple Pie straight out of the oven topped with home made custard or cream." Recipe from Sorcha Dhonnchaidh who was born and raised in Ireland. Graduated from university Sorcha spends her spare time traveling Ireland and learning local traditions. She is well known for her story telling and loves to share old folklore tales with anyone who will listen.

MUM'S IRISH APPLE PIE
As a little boy I grew up helping my mother make apple and fruit pies. She was from Cork in southern Ireland so I'm guessing the recipe is Irish and possibly the same one her mother taught her. Sadly my mum is no longer with us, but her legendary apple pie lives on in my memory. I promise you will love this pie!

Steps:
- To make the savoury sugar, heat oven to 140C/fan 160C/gas 1. Scatter the muscovado sugar, Maldon sea salt and lemon zest over a baking sheet, then leave in the oven for 15 mins to dry out. Leave to cool, then blitz in a blender. Pass through a large-holed sieve to remove any big lumps, then set aside.
- For the pastry, pulse the flour and butter together in a food processor until you have the texture of breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and eggs and pulse until everything comes together. Wrap the pastry with cling film and chill.
- Tip the raisins into a pan with the whisky, and add 1 tsp of the sugar. Bring to a simmer, then leave to one side.
- Cut the apples into large wedges and melt the butter in a heavy-based pan. Toss the apples in the butter, then add half the demerara sugar, the cinnamon stick and a healthy splash of whiskey. Cook the apples for 3-4 mins until coloured, then place in a sieve to drain away excess juices.
- Turn oven up to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Grease and flour a 28cm baking ring. Roll two-thirds of the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin and line the ring. Chill for at least 20 mins. Prick pastry with a fork, then bake blind in the oven for around 10 mins. Brush with beaten egg, then return to the oven for 5 mins. Repeat this process again, cooking for another 5 mins - this will keep the pastry crisp. Leave to cool, then add the apple and raisin mixtures reserving any whiskey that has not been absorbed by the raisins. Roll a lid for the tart with the remaining pastry and place on top of the tart, egg washing to secure edges. Prick the top to release steam, egg wash the top of the pastry and sprinkle with the remaining demerara sugar. Turn oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and cook for 20 mins, until the top is golden.
- Put the apple tart on a large board. Lightly whip the cream and add the raisin whiskey to taste. Serve the spiced sugar in a bowl on the side to sprinkle over.
