Pre-baked butter crust with apple, raisins and nuts, cake crumbs and a browned lemon meringue.
Method
Steps
Step 1
For the proposed sweet crust, rub cold butter into flour, sugar and salt to coarse crumbs. Add cold water gradually just until the dough holds, flatten, wrap and chill 30 minutes. Roll to about 3 mm, line a 23 cm dish and chill again before the recipe's stated filling and baking sequence.
Step 2
Heat oven to 180 °C and blind-bake the chilled 23 cm pastry shell about 15 minutes. Mix apples, raisins, walnuts, 80 g sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and fill shell.
Step 3
Cover fruit evenly with cake crumbs and bake another 25–30 minutes until apples tender and juices bubbling.
Step 4
Beat pasteurized whites with powdered sugar and lemon to firm peaks, spread over hot pie and return to oven until lightly browned and topping heated through. Cool enough to slice.
