🎨🍏 a pastry canvas for a prettier pie! I want to show how to make an Apple and Blackberry Painted Pie and turn something quite ordinary into a work of edible art! You don’t need any fancy equipment just a few shades of food colouring and a bit of creativity! If you want to give it a go, you will need: Pastry: • 200g cold unsalted butter • 400g plain flour • Pinch of salt • 2 tbsp caster sugar • 2 egg yolks • 4-5 tbsp cold water • Food colouring (I can bring) Filling: • 6 Granny Smith apples • 75ml water • 60g soft brown sugar • 125g blackberries • 2 tbsp caster sugar • 1 tbsp cornflour Method: 1. For the pastry, blitz the flour, sugar, butter and salt in a food processor, or rub together by hand. 2. Add in the egg yolks and water a tbsp at a time until it comes together into a dough. Roll out to around half a cm thick. 3. Grease an 8 inch pie tin, and using your fingers to work it to the edges, line the tin with the pastry, trimming around the outside. 4. For the filling, peel, core and chop the apples into chunks, and cook in a pan with the water and brown sugar until they are tender. 5. Let them cool, then toss in a bowl with the blackberries, caster sugar and cornflour. 6. Place the filling on top of the pastry in the pie dish, and cover with another disc of pastry, using your hands or a fork to crimp the edges together. 7. With any leftover pastry, create your design, and make sure to use a knife to prick a few holes to allow any steam to escape. 8. Use food colourings to add colour and decorate your pie. 9. Bake at 180°C for around 30 minutes, until the pastry is a lovely deep golden brown.
