Ingredients

9 total
  • 1 handful of plain flour, for rolling
  • 0.5 lemon, juiced
  • 75 ml of apple juice
  • 100 g of caster sugar
  • 50 g of butter, cubed
  • 500 g of puff pastry
  • 3 apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths
  • 3 pears, cored and quartered
  • 0.5 tsp of vanilla essence

Method

4 steps

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200˚C/Gas 6. Line the base of a solid 23cm cake tin (not loose base or sprung).

  2. Step 2

    Toss the fruit with the lemon. Cook the sugar, apple juice and vanilla in a frying pan over a gentle heat, without stirring, until deep brown. Add the fruit and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Roll the pastry on a floured board to the thickness of a £1 coin. When the fruit’s soft, tip it into the tin, dot with the butter and cover with the pastry, tucking it in around the edge. If it’s too hot, use a spoon to do this. Slash the pastry to release any steam.

  4. Step 4

    Cook for 25 minutes until crisp and golden. Cool for 5 minutes then turn it out on a plate to serve.
