Ingredients Needed
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) apples (such as Granny Smith or Bramley)
- 100 g (½ cup) brown sugar
- 1 tbsp plain flour (all-purpose)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp stem ginger (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp elderflower cordial or lemon juice
- 150 g (1 cup) blackberries (optional)
- 500 g (1 lb) puff pastry (ready-made or homemade)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp demerara sugar (for sprinkling)
How To Make Apple Pie Puff Pastry
- Preheat oven: Set the oven to180°C (350°F).
- Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice apples. Mix with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, and elderflower juice. Optionally, fold in blackberries.
- Roll out the pastry: Roll two-thirds of puff pastry into a large circle to fit your 9-inch pie dish. Press into the dish and trim excess.
- Fill the pie: Add the apple mixture into the pastry-lined dish.
- Add the top pastry: Roll out the remaining pastry, place on top, and crimp the edges. Make small slits on top for steam to escape.
- Brush & sprinkle: Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
- Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Cool & serve: Let it cool slightly, and serve warm with ice cream or custard.

Recipe Tips
- Use a mix of apples: Combining tart apples (like Granny Smith) with sweet apples (like Gala) will give your pie a perfect balance of flavor.
- Don’t overfill the pie: Be careful not to overfill the pie with apples, as this can cause the filling to spill out while baking.
- Chill the pastry before baking: If the puff pastry feels too soft, chill it for 15 minutes before baking for a flakier crust.
- Brush the pastry with egg wash: This gives your pie a golden, shiny finish that looks delicious and appetizing.
- Let the pie cool slightly: Allow the pie to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting to prevent the filling from running out.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover apple pie cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the pie and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: You can freeze the pie after it has cooled. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It will last in the freezer for up to 3 months. To serve, let it thaw at room temperature for a few hours before enjoying.
