P.S. Please note whilst bowl will be very full for the filling the ingredients will cook down.
Makes: Aprox. 8 slices
Preparation: 20 minutes + cooling/resting time
Cooking time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 335 grams plain flour
- 185 grams cold unsalted butter
- 80 grams icing sugar mixture
- 20 grams chilled water
- 3 egg yolks + 1 egg white
Filling
- 30 grams almonds
- 645 grams (aprox 5) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 380 grams rhubarb (aprox 1 bunch)
- 75 grams caster sugar + 1 tablespoon extra
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 300 grams frozen raspberries
Method:
- Mill almonds, 8 seconds, speed 7. Set aside in a small bowl.
- To make the shortcrust pastry, place flour, butter and sugar mixture in the bowl and mix until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, 10 seconds – speed 4.
- With speed 4 still activated add the egg yolks and chilled water. Process until mixture just comes together – in approximately 20 seconds a ball of dough will form.
- Turn dough onto silicone mat, form dough into a disc, wrap in a mat (or glad wrap) and chill for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, without washing the bowl, add apples, rhubarb, sugar, cinnamon and cook for 5 minutes, 85c, speed 0.50.
- Add cornflour and raspberries and cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 180c.
- Divide pastry into 2 equal portions. On your mat or lightly floured surface, roll out 1 pastry disc to a 30 cm round (aprox. 3 mm thick) and ease into a 22cm round pie dish.
- Trim excess pastry around rim and sprinkle with almond meal.
- Spoon the cooled apple mixture into the pastry case.
- Roll out the remaining pastry out to a 2 mm-thick disc.
- Use a heart-shaped pastry cutter to cut shapes. Continue to re-roll pastry and cut more shapes until there is no more pastry.
- Arrange pastry hearts over pie filling, overlapping slightly.
- Brush top with egg white and sprinkle with extra sugar.
- Bake 40 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and filling is heated through.
