Traditional Welsh Recipes
Pastai Afal (Apple Pastry).
Although traditionally cooked on a griddle or bakestone, this apple pie can be cooked in the
oven.
| 8 ozs prepared shortcrust pastry |
a little milk |
| 4-5 sweetened, stewed apples |
granulated sugar |
Set oven to 425°F or Gas Mark 7. Divide the pastry in half and roll out on a lightly floured
surface to form two equal sized rounds. Spread the stewed apple (which should not be too wet) onto one round,
leaving a clean edge. Moisten the edge with milk and place the other round on top, sealing very well. Brush lightly
with milk and carefully place on a lightly buttered baking sheet. Bake for 20 - 25 mins. until golden brown.
Sprinkle thickly with granulated sugar and serve at once, either plain or with custard.
Serves 4 - 6.
