The perfect #pie for luring #knuckers from #knuckerholes!

I'll let you into a little secret... a #SussexPie is essentially just a #AppleandRaisinPie, so most #applepie #recipes will do!


Ingredients:

  • Short crust pastry 200g

  • Cooking apples 220g

  • Sugar 80g

  • Raisins 60g

  • Currants 60g

  • Cinnamon ½ teaspoonful

  • Mixed spice ½ teaspoonful

If you want to make your own pastry you will need:

  • 100g plain flour

  • 50g butter (dairy-free butter if your vegan)

  • 2-3 table spoons cold water

Method for pastry:

  • Sift the flour into a bowl

  • Cut the butter into small pieces, add to flour

  • Rub into the flour with fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs

  • Add enough cold water to bind the breadcrumbs together and mix to a smooth dough

Tip: If you accidentally add a bit too much water, put it in the fridge for an hour before using.


Method for pie:

  • Line your pie tin with pastry

  • Fill with chopped cooking apples, sugar, raisins, currants, cinnamon and spice

  • Cover with pastry, remember to make a cut in the pastry so air can escape.

  • Put it oven for half an hour 200C/180C fan until the pastry is baked and the apple filling is bubbling and hot.

Once your pie cools, you will be ready to go #knucker hunting! Read about our knucker hunting adventure here.
