 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8       oz           SR flour
  4       oz           Butter
  2       oz           Caster sugar
  4                    Cooking apples
  1                    Egg, beaten
                       Little milk
                       Melted butter for glazing
                       Ground cloves or cinnamon
                       Caster sugar for dusting

 Set oven to 425°F or Mark 7. Grease an 8 inch round
 flan tin. Rub the butter into the flour in a bowl and
 stir in the sugar. Peel and grate two of the apples
 and add to the flour with the beaten egg. Mix well
 together. If the dough is rather firm add a little
 milk to soften. Turn the dough on to a floured surface
 and knead lightly. Press evenly into the base of the
 tin. Peel, core and slice the remaining apples and
 arrange, neatly overlapping, on top of the dough.
 Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of
 ground cloves or cinnamon and a little caster sugar.
 Bake for 25-30 minutes and serve warm.
