Steps

  • Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Work in approximately 75ml of cold water to bring the pastry into a ball.
  • Wrap the dough and rest it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a 26x20cm baking tin.
  • Peel, core, and slice all the apples into a bowl.
  • Roll out two-thirds of the pastry to line the base and sides of the tin.
  • Layer the apples and sugar in the tin, then scatter the crumbled cheese over the top.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry, seal the lid with milk, and trim the edges.
  • Brush the top with milk, sprinkle with sugar, and make two steam vents.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Rest the pie for 15 minutes before serving.
