Method Steps
- Step 1 For filling, place all ingredients and 60ml (1/4 cup) water in a large saucepan. Cover and simmer, stirring twice, for 15-20 minutes, until apple is just tender. Remove from heat. Set aside, covered, to cool.

- Step 4Knead dough on a floured surface until just smooth. Reserve a third of dough. Roll out remaining dough on floured baking paper to a 33cm disc. Use to line prepared pan, pressing into side. Trim excess.
- Step 5 Fill pie shell with apple mixture, removing cinnamon and ginger. Roll out reserved dough on floured baking paper to a disc large enough to cover pie. Place over apple mixture. Trim excess. Crimp edges. Cut 3 slits in top. Place on hot tray and bake for 40 minutes.
