  • About

Adding the coarsely grated Bramley apple and the zest of 2 lemons stops the toothaching sweetness that is almost too much to bear. You may add a large handful of walnuts too if you want more crunch. If you don’t have enough end bits of pastry to lattice the top it really doesn’t matter. A classic.

Ingredients

  • 450 g golden syrup
  • 3 tbsp. (double) cream
  • 2 small eg

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Make shortcrust pastry, bake blind in the usual way, dry out in the oven in the usual way.

Meanwhile, make the middle. Heat the golden syrup over a gentle heat until it is thinner.

Whisk together the cream
