Modern RedactionIngredients:
5 large green or tart apples, peeled cored and sliced (I like bramleys but I do make this with about 15 crab apples when I can) Method:Boil the apples until soft then drain. Pass through a food processor (or use a potato masher) along with 200ml of the honey to make a smooth purée. Place this purée in a large bowl then taste for sweetness and blend-in additional honey if required. Add the food colouring, saffron, salt and pepper along with the ground anise seeds and liquorice and blend in with a large spoon. Add sufficient breadcrumbs to thicken the mixture to the consistency of a heavy cake batter. Place the apple mixture in the pre-baked pie shell and place in an oven pre-heated to 160°C and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven, allow to cool and set then serve. |
