Method - Pastry:

TIP: Amounts of flour needed varies depending on egg size, so it's all about finding the right dough texture - not too sticky and definitely not too dry. Work on roughly 90 to 100g flour to 1 egg ratio. It's also best starting with slightly less flour and adding gradually if needed.

1. Add 2 heaped tablespoons of potato flour to a mixing bowl
2. Add 2 heaped tablespoons of chickpea flour
3. Add 1 heaped tablespoon of tapioca flour
4. Dice about 50g of butter into cubes and add to the flour mixture
5. Work the butter into the flour between your finger tips until it is like breadcrumbs
6. Add 1 small to medium sized egg
7. Bring it all together with your hands until it forms a dough
8. Add more flour a little at a time if it feels too sticky or add a little drop of cold water (or oil) at a time if it feels too dry
9. Once the dough is a good texture, then roll it out on a floured surface to whatever shape you need

Method - Filling and baking:

1. Peel, chop and boil 3 apples until soft
2. Line an oven dish with the bottom layer of pastry
3. Add the stewed apple - you could add other fruit like blackberries and season with cinnamon.
4. Cover the top of the pie with pastry and optionally brush with milk to help it go golden when baked
5. Cook in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the pastry goes golden brown on top
6. Serve with ice cream or warm custard
