    Steps

    Tap ingredients as you go

    Step 1

    Make the pastry

    Ingredients

    Rub the cold butter into the flour, sugar and salt until it looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces. Add the ice water a spoonful at a time until it just holds together. Flatten into a disc, wrap and chill.

    Step 2

    Slice the apples

    Ingredients

    Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Core the apples, slice them 3 mm thick, and toss with the sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon.

    Step 3

    Shape

    Roll the pastry into a 30 cm round on a floured sheet of parchment. Fan the apples in overlapping rings, leaving a 5 cm border, then fold the border up over the fruit.

    Step 4

    Bake

    Ingredients

    Brush the folded edge with beaten egg and sprinkle with demerara. Bake until the pastry is deep golden and the apples are tender.

    Step 5

    Glaze

    Ingredients

    Warm the apricot jam with a splash of water and brush it over the hot apples. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing.

    • Made two for the offsite. Gone before the keynote even started.

      Next time: Double the glaze.
