Apple and redcurrant pie
We fancied a quick and tasty pudding one evening this week. A fruit pie appealed. Looking around the kitchen, we had some nice eating apples to use up, and some of our redcurrants had started to go slightly soft.
I decided to follow Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall’s trusty recipe for apple pic, which can be found online. I added 150g of redcurrants to the apples, using eating apples rather than Bramley apples which I dislike. The redcurrants were surprisingly sharp in the pie, despite the sugar, but it was enjoyed nonetheless with lashings of organic cream.
I made this in an 9″ fluted flan dish as, having been recipe testing all day, it was the only suitable tin which was clean. It was a little large and I struggled rolling the pastry out to fit right up to the edges. Although for a family supper, the rustic look was perfectly fine for us! The pastry was very tasty although a little dry. You would not think I had glazed it with an egg wash from this photo. Next time, I will sprinkle some demerara sugar over the top before baking.
I’m entering this into this month’s River Cottage Rocks over at Jo’s Kitchen.
Gosh this looks fantastic, whenever I try a lattice it looks like som obscure piece of modern art! It sounds delicious too.
Thank you so much Jude! This definitely did look like an obscure piece of modern art!
I love the apple and red currant combination! Also admiring your lattice top!
That looks amazing!!!
Thank you!
Wow this is a beautiful pie. While I have often made apple pies with berries I have not tried a lattice top so this is something I shall be bookmarking!
Thank you so much! I highly recommend the the combination of apple and redcurrants together!
