What You’ll Need

• 113g Unsalted Butter (cold)
• 155g Plain Flour
• 1/2tbsp Caster Sugar
• 1/2tsp Salt
• 1/2 Cup Buttermilk
• 260g Blueberries
• 1 Apple
• 30g Caster Sugar
• 1tbsp Cornstarch
• 1tsp Vanilla Extract
• Zest 1 Lemon
• 1 Egg
• Raw sugar to finish

How To Do It

1.  Begin by making the dough. Mix together the flour, sugar and salt. Add the cold butter in cubes and toss to coat. Tip all the mix onto a floured surface and, using a rolling pin, roll out creating strips of butter through the flour. Gather together and continue to roll out a couple of times until the butter is evenly distributed through the flour. Place the mixture back in the bowl.

2.  Create a well in the centre of the flour and butter mixture and add the buttermilk. Gently bring together into a dough. Divide the mix into three or four and press into a disk. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for at least an hour.

3.  Combine the blueberries with the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla and lemon zest. Cut the apple in half and thinly slice on a mandolin.

4.  To assemble, roll the pastry discs out to make a circle of around 8” and, in the centre, place a few slices of apple (ensure you leave a 2” space around the edge. Top the apple with the blueberry mix and roughly fold the pastry edges up to partly cover the filling. This doesn’t have to be neat, in fact, it should look a little rustic. Brush the pastry with some beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar. Place in a preheated oven at 200 degrees and bake for 30 minutes or until golden and brown and bubbling. Serve warm with ice cream.
