Tam shared this recipe with me recently and it was super easy and yum so I have converted it for the Thermomix. Take 125g chopped butter and melt at 90 degrees 3 mins speed 2. Into the bowl add 280g self raising flour, 35g custard powder, 160g sugar and 1 egg and mix at speed 7 for 30 seconds. Scrape sides and give it another 30 seconds until you get a dough. Take about 2/3 of the mix and using your fingers press it into a lined pie tin, or as I did with these ones into a large greased muffin tin. Fill with pie apples then a sprinkle each of caster sugar and cinnamon. For the lid roll out the remaining dough between two layers of baking paper and then remove one side of paper, invert onto the pie and peel the rest of the paper away. If you are doing smaller pies then you can just roll out and cut to shape. Slit the tops a few times, then brush with milk and bake at 175 degrees for 35-40 mins or golden brown. We included a few sultanas on top of the apples, and you could also add berries, or rhubarb. For the 6 muffin tin sized pies I needed about 2/3 of a 800g tin of pie apples or for one large pie I used a whole 800g can. If you have the time you could of course stew the filling yourself. I am going to try a savory version of that crust next, it's a nice texture and I think it would be good with quiche/savory tarts.
