Buena Vista Farm's tips
Either use tinned cooked sliced apple, sold as 'pie fruit', or cook your own, there’s no judgement here. If you’re cooking your own apples, peel approximately 3 large tart green apples, quarter and core them, and chop into small pieces. Put the apple into a saucepan with 250 ml (81⁄2 fl oz/1 cup) water, put the lid on and simmer over a low heat for approximately 15 minutes until the apple is soft. Cool before using.
