    Decided today to make an apple pie for tomorrow as I have a pre bought sweet pastry case, a tin of apples and sauce (for pies) .... just looking for topping ideas please.... I've had a search n can't find any recipes :-(

    I'm going to add some cinnamon to the apples from the tin, a few chunks of 'real' apples and maybe a handful of raisins.

    All ideas greatly appreciated :-)

    Hi there Lola. I'd be tempted to do a crumble-style topping for it. Mix equal amounts of butter, sugar and flour into a crumbly mixture and spoon over the top. The other alternative I can think of is to cube up some bread into chunks and sprinkle that over the top. That'll be a bit different from a normal pie. Shortcrust pastry isn't that difficult to make, but when there's a lot of other stuff to be done (i.e. Christmas Day) then the easiest ways are often the best. :) Hope one of those ideas helps.

    Merry Christmas

    Oh think I'll go with the crumble on top, and maybe add the cinnamon to that instead...

    Thanks for all the suggestions :-)
