double apple pie

I decided not to purchase a Magimix as a local kitchen emporium, Gill Wing, had exactly the tool I was looking for - a pastry blender. It's very old school but it certainly does the job, and at just a 40th of the price of a Magimix I am very happy thank you.

So for Saturday night I joyfully peeled 2kgs of apple, cooked it up, blended 2/3 of it and then assembled everything inside the glorious pastry case I'd manufactured with aforementioned implement. We then sealed it with pastry on top and Zack painted it with beaten egg. The final product was fabulous. I'd say the only improvement would be to change the ratio of apple that we blended to 50/50 or even 35% mush / 65% solids. Just got to do with texture.

Will make that one again. Yum !
