So, what to make to celebrate British Pie Week? Well, I decided to go right back to basics and make a classic, an Apple Pie.However, this apple pie has an old-fashioned lattice-top pie crust, which cuts back on the pastry element a bit and adds a touch of nostalgia to the recipe.
And yes, Jam Tarts and Lemon Meringue Pies are also an important part of the pie stable in our household too. Other pies that are likely to adorn my table are French Galettes and Pithiviers, Pasties, Mince Pies, Gala Pork Pies and Raised Game Pie…… Sausage Rolls and Sausage Plaits are also enjoyed with gusto – basically anything in a pastry crust gets my vote of approval. I love pies in all forms – from homely cheese and onion pies to deep dish cherry pies they are always welcome on my kitchen table. It’s that time of year again, it’s time to celebrate PIES in all their glory, and as pies happen to be one of my favourite food groups, I’m very much in! Yes, for those in the know, it’s British Pie Week from the 2 nd of March until the 8 th of March, and although I DON’T need a reason to make a pie and enjoy it, it does give me the excuse to make even more pies during the week, which I fully intend to do.
The lattice work pastry topping is a little fiddly but it’s well worth persevering for the end results, so it looks as good as it tastes. Old-Fashioned Lattice Apple Pie – This old-fashioned lattice apple pie recipe uses British Bramley apples that are dusted with a hint of mixed spice and brown sugar for a wonderful spiced filling.
