I love apple pie. They remind me of my Grandma. When I was little you would never go to my Grandmas house without being offered a slice of home made apple pie. Delicious.

How to make butterscotch apple pie:
You will need:
- Light muscovado sugar 75g (3oz)
- Golden syrup 1 tbsp
- Butter 75g (3oz)
- Cornflour 1 tbsp
- Lemon juice 1 tbsp
- Cooking apples 900g (2lb), peeled, cored and thickly sliced
- Ready-rolled sweet dessert pastry 320g pack
- Milk to brush
- Caster sugar 1 tbsp
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°fan/Gas 6.
- Put the muscovado sugar, syrup and butter in a pan and heat gently until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Mix the cornflour with the lemon juice and add to the sauce. Heat, stirring, until thickened.
- Put the apples in a pie dish and pour over the butterscotch sauce.
- Place the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut out a lid for the pie and a long strip of pastry about 1cm (½in) wide. Dampen the rim of the pie dish and put the strip of pastry around it. Dampen the pastry strip and cover with the pastry lid.
- Use any trimmings to make decorations. Make a slit in the top, brush with milk and sprinkle with caster sugar. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
