The finest Tart

Hey Cherries!
So today I was with my pals Philip, Zoe and Elysia and we decided to make an apple pie! Whoop whoop!
We used Nutmeg and Ginger so it smelt all festive and shit! How lovely!
So here is a tutorial of how to make it! 

1. First we cut up the apples! 
Cut them finely, thin enough so you can stuff lots of Apple in your pie! Make sure you cut the core out! Don't want you choking on some seeds ^.^ 

2. We then bought "just rol, shortcrust" pastry. And roll that out really thinly! This is so the pastry cooks faster! 
Then place it in a tin, we used a flan tin as we went to Tesco and they didn't have  a tin for pies but they did for flan.

3. Mix the ingredients! Then we used sugar, nutmeg and Ginger and mixed them together!  I used 3 table spoons of sugar and then a load of nutmeg and ginger until it smelled of Christmas spice! If you want you can use cinnamon, that's especially Christmassy! Except I'm allergic to cinnamon! 

4. Place the apples on top of the shortcrust pastry in the tin, in a circular motion, as this will maximise the amount of space for the apples! 

5. Then sprinkle with lots of the sugar mixed with Christmas spices! 

6. Pop the top layer on and smooth it out. 
Then use a fork to put some holes in the pie top, to let the pie breathe and to stop it puffing. Then crimp the edges with a fork to give it a cuter effect and seal the pie lid.

7. Then pop the pie in the oven, at 200•c for 40 minutes 

8. When it's time, take it out the oven, using a cup underneath the tin, to remove the top layer. Let it sit for 10 minutes!!! And then eat ittttttt<3
