Hugh’s, from the latest Waitrose magazine, that is normally full of poncey crap, but this time I found a few useful things in there.

4 nice apples, cored and chopped and peeled, slowly cooked in a melted butter and sugar mixture, with some cinnamon, left to cool a bit.

For the pie itself I creamed 150 g of butter with 125 g of sugar, 2 whole eggs, and then 75 g and same amount of ground almonds. This mixture I put into a tin layered with baking parchment and the apples went on top, with all their juices. It stayed in the oven for nearly an hour, in 170 degrees. Finished off with icing sugar, like Sniezka on Jana’s photos.
