Cooks Tip
For a real American apple pie, after cooking turn off the oven, remove pie and pour double cream into slit. Return pie to oven for 20 minutes or until oven cools – then serve immediately. If you buy 284ml carton of cream, there will be plenty left over to serve chilled with the rest of the dessert.

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to gas 6/200C/400F. Cut the pastry in half and roll out one peice to cover base of a 23cm (9") pie dish.
Step 2
Cut very thin slices of cake and use them to make a single layer in the base.
Step 3
Put prepared apples into bowl. Sprinkle with cast sugar, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg, mix well. Transfer to pie dish and dot with butter.
Step 4
Roll out remaining pastry, gently place the pie dish onto the pastry and use this as a guide to cut a circle for the lid. Wet edge of pie with a little water; place on lid and press edges firmly to seal. Use the scraps to make 3 - 4 pastry leaves to decorate the top - wet these with a little water and press in place. Brush with a little milk to glaze.

Cut a slit in centre of pie and place in the oven for about 1 hour or until top is golden and apples are cooked.
