Apple pie slice
- 6 cup medium apples (900g), peeled, cored, cut into 1cm (½ inch) pieces
- 1/4 cup (55g) caster (superfine) sugar

Method
Apple pie slice
- 1Grease 20cm x 30cm (8 inch x 12 inch) lamington pan; line base and sides with baking paper, extending paper 5cm over long sides.
- 2Sift flours into medium bowl; rub in butter. Stir in sugar, egg and enough milk to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
- 3Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F. To make apple pie filling, combine apple, sugar and the water in large saucepan; cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or until apple softens. Remove from heat; stir in sultanas, spice and rind. Cool.
- 4Divide dough in half. Roll one half large enough to cover base of pan; press firmly into pan. Spread apple filling over dough. Roll remaining dough large enough to cover filling and place over the top. Brush with extra milk; sprinkle with extra sugar. Bake about 25 minutes; cool slice in pan before cutting into squares.
- 5Serve apple pie slice with whipped cream. Ground nutmeg or cinnamon tastes great stirred through the cream.
Notes
Apple filling can be made a day ahead; keep, covered, in the refrigerator. Slice is best baked on the morning of eating.
