Pastai Afal (Apple Pastry).

Although traditionally cooked on a griddle or bakestone, this apple pie can be cooked in the oven.

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.
