Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Short Pastry, One ounce Butter.
  2. Peel and core the apples without breaking them, fill the centre with sugar, one clove, and small piece of butter, roll the pastry quarter-inch thick, cut in rounds large enough to cover the apple, joining very neatly on the top.
  3. The pastry should be of one thickness all over, or it may be cut out in two smaller rounds, allowing one to slightly overlap the other.
  4. This prevents a lump of paste at the top, but if not carefully joined are very likely to burst.
  5. Bake twenty to thirty minutes, dust over with castor sugar.
