An Irish Apple Tart on a Plate image

"Every woman in Ireland knows her mother's Apple Pie Recipe; this recipe is passed down through generation after generation and in some families it is so secret they would not dare tell anyone outside the family. There is nothing nicer than walking into a traditional Irish kitchen and smelling the wonderful aroma of freshly baking Apple Pie except that is a slice of freshly baked Apple Pie straight out of the oven topped with home made custard or cream." Recipe from Sorcha Dhonnchaidh who was born and raised in Ireland. Graduated from university Sorcha spends her spare time traveling Ireland and learning local traditions. She is well known for her story telling and loves to share old folklore tales with anyone who will listen.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup lard, shortening
2 tablespoons cold water
2 lbs cooking apples, tart peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons milk
cream or custard, to serve

Steps:

  • Mix the flour and salt in a bowl then using your finger tips rub in the butter or margarine and the lard or shortening until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add enough of the cold water to form firm dough.
  • Roll out ¾ of the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line an oven proof plate.
  • Cover with the apples and place in the cloves and sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry and use to cover the pie moistening the edges to seal the lid.
  • Flute the edges and decorate with the trimmings of the pastry.
  • Cut a vent in the top of the pie and brush the top with milk.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°C/400°F gas mark 6 for about 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
