Ingredients
- 1 roll flaky pastry 500g

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
- 2 tbsp water

- Add chopped apples, sugar if using, vanilla, cinnamon and water to pan and cook until tender.
- While the apple mix is cooling, heat oven to 170 °C.
- Butter the pan edges and line the base with baking paper (this makes it easier to remove from pan).

Notes
Peaches work well in this pie too. This recipe also works just as beautifully without the quarter cup of sugar. Or just use less to taste.
