We're going to make a beautiful

beautiful apple pie. It's gorgeous

it's got a twist, the ginger, the elderflower, beautiful blackberries

your mates will come round and they'll absolutely love that

So nice, so first of all I'm going to peel these apples

we're gonna use a Bramley's apple and some eaters as well

but what I don't want you to do is chuck the skins away they've got loads of flavour

and colour and what I want you to do is just throw it in a pan

with a handful of sugar and a swig or two of water ice, put two blackberries in there

couple of sprigs of mint, this cooks down to make the most wonderful wonderful syrup

it's really nice with ice cream. The nice thing about mixing up

the eating apples with the Bramley apples is you get different textures different flavours

which makes the ultimate apple pie so I've got about you know

three eaters, one Bramley going in

lets spice it up now. I'm going to take some cinnamon and some nutmeg

What I want do is create like a few extra flavours that you don't normally get in an apple pie

So I've got a warm pan okay this is a hot pan

in there I'm gonna put a nice knob of butter

That's the beginning of the story

We're gonna go in with a pinch of cinnamon about a quarter of a nutmeg, give it a good old shake up

and what I want to do

is incorporate a few little flavours you can buy this

stem ginger in syrup right pour in a little bit of the syrup

and just chop up a few little bits

it's amazing that such a little bit of this ginger will make such a dramatic change to you pie

people go crazy for it that's kinda

the other thing I'm doing as well is elderflower absolutely

gorgeous just a handful or so

of brown sugar well it's the

golden sugar actually just enough to sweeten the apple and then

our apples go in so you know for me

it's about the best apple pie ever, so I'm tossing this up, I'll cook this for

about five minutes

now I'm gonna use pre bought puff pastry

so I'm gonna roll out this pastry to about ten inches

what we're gonna do is we're gonna load this up with some apples all the flavours have started

to cook into the apples which is great.

A handful of beautiful blackberries whether you get them from the supermarkets, markets or off

the bush.

Go and get some off the bush these will bust and explode and sort of

you know just create the most beautiful purple

bubbly juice so we like that. A little bit extra of that elderflower

in here now. I've got an egg here I'm just gonna whip it up.

We're gonna make egg wash to make it golden but also its gonna stick

the pastry to the bowl, I've got me ten inches of

pastry I'm gonna lay it over cut off that excess pastry

you don't have to waste it you can reroll it out or do a bit decoration

get this, the chimney, make a little hole in the top like that, it kind of lets the

steam out

I'm going to have a little pinch up around the edge just to stick it to the side

puff pastry's got layers of butter and pastry

so you get this lamination you get this kind of layered approach, it goes puffy and

and nice and crispy and then we're gonna egg wash the outside of this pastry like this

and I'm going to sprinkle it with just a tiny bit

of that sugar so there you go, beautiful little pie

I'm gonna bang that in the oven for around 40-45 minutes at a 180 degree Celsius 350

degrees fahrenheit until it's bubbling, golden and delicious

look at that absolutely gorgeous

we've got these stencils here

Get a little bit of icing sugar in there. Since I've got kids

you know you do find yourself doing ridiculous things like this so we take

it off

and we've got our little stencils like that which is quite cool. Whatever ice cream you're

using, doesn't matter.

you can just scoop it up like this. I've got my syrup done

We can just pour it on, gorgeous. We're just gonna serve a portion of our old pie here

Just take the chimney out and there is

an ultimate, ultimate

apple pie. There's question marks in there, the ginger, the

elderflower, a little bit of surprise and don't waste any of that syrup in the bottom.

Look at that beautiful, let's have a little try out

That is damn good

I think it's the ginger that does it though. Lots of love and see you next time
