flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

In a bowl, combine 250 grams of plain flour with 125 grams of margarine and 125 grams of white vegetable fat, chopping the fat into smaller pieces.

Rub the fat into the flour using fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add 10 teaspoons of water to the mixture and stir with a knife until it starts to stick together.

Knead the dough lightly and form it into a ball.

Roll out two-thirds of the dough for the bottom of the pie and one-third for the top.

Place the rolled dough into an 18 cm sandwich tin, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides without stretching.

Roll out the second piece of dough for the top of the pie.

Peel and core 500 grams of Bramley apples, then cut them into slices.

Fill the pie crust with the apple slices and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (amount not specified).

Cover the pie with the rolled-out top crust and seal the edges.
