Peel 1 kilo of green Granny Smith apples, removing any bruises.

Slice apples into strips and place them into a pot with 1 to 2 cups of water for stewing.

Cream together 130 g of butter and 1 cup of sugar in a mixing bowl.

Add 2 large eggs to the butter and sugar mixture and mix well.

Add a pinch of salt and stir again.

Incorporate 3 cups of flour and 2 tsp of baking powder into the mixture using your hands to form a dough ball.

Divide the dough in half; set one half aside for the topping.

Push the other half of the dough into the corners of a pie dish, ensuring it is even.

Drain the stewed apples and add 1 to 2 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tbsp of corn flour; mix gently to combine.

Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Crumble the reserved dough over the top of the apples, ensuring it is fairly well covered but allowing some apple to stick out for a rustic look.

Flatten the topping slightly to help it stick together during baking.

Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and bake for 25 minutes until golden on top.

Optional: Sprinkle icing sugar on top before serving.
