Ingredients:
For Pastry:
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
8 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 to 2/3 cup milk
For Filling:
2 apples, Granny Smith or Cortland work well in this recipe
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For Glaze:
1 egg, beaten
Method:
Preheat oven to 350° F
Mix the flour and baking powder in a bowl. With a pastry cutter or your fingers blend in the butter with the flour until it gets to the consistency of breadcrumbs.
Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
Mix in egg and about a 1/2 cup of milk to form a soft dough.
Use more milk if necessary. Divide in two.
Spread half the dough onto a greased 9" round ovenproof plate.
Work it with your fingers to cover the plate.
Peel, core and chop/slice the apples.
Place them on the dough covered plate.
Mix cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar and sprinkle over the apples.
Roll out the other half of the dough. Use it to cover the apples pressing down on the edges to seal.
Cut a slit in the top crust. Brush the top with the beaten egg wash.
Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve warm.
Sprinkle a little confectioners' sugar on top and a goodly dab of whipped cream.
