Recipe for Sussex Pie

Updated: Dec 13, 2021

The perfect #pie for luring #knuckers from #knuckerholes!

I'll let you into a little secret... a #SussexPie is essentially just a #AppleandRaisinPie, so most #applepie #recipes will do!


Ingredients:

  • Short crust pastry 200g

  • Cooking apples 220g

  • Sugar 80g

  • Raisins 60g

  • Currants 60g

  • Cinnamon ½ teaspoonful

  • Mixed spice ½ teaspoonful

If you want to make your own pastry you will need:

  • 100g plain flour

  • 50g butter (dairy-free butter if your vegan)

  • 2-3 table spoons cold water

Method for pastry:

  • Sift the flour into a bowl

  • Cut the butter into small pieces, add to flour

  • Rub into the flour with fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs

  • Add enough cold water to bind the breadcrumbs together and mix to a smooth dough

Tip: If you accidentally add a bit too much water, put it in the fridge for an hour before using.


Method for pie:

  • Line your pie tin with pastry

  • Fill with chopped cooking apples, sugar, raisins, currants, cinnamon and spice

  • Cover with pastry, remember to make a cut in the pastry so air can escape.

  • Put it oven for half an hour 200C/180C fan until the pastry is baked and the apple filling is bubbling and hot.

Once your pie cools, you will be ready to go knucker hunting! Read about our knucker hunting adventure here.
