Recipe


Ingredients

  • Crust
  • ⅓ cup buckwheat flour
  • ⅓ cup oat flour or fine oatmeal
  • ⅔ cup almond or hazelnut meal
  • 60g butter, chilled & cut into small chunks
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 egg

  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, cored & sliced thinly
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp lime zest (approx 1 lime)

Method


  • Combine buckwheat flour, oat flour, nut meal and butter in food processor and process to fine crumb.
  • Add maple syrup and egg, and pulse to combine. If mixture is too wet, add a tbsp or so more buckwheat flour so you have a soft but not too sticky ball.
  • Shape dough into a disc, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour (or pop in freezer for 10 mins if in a rush).
  • Roll out dough between two pieces of baking paper so it doesn’t stick.
  • Transfer carefully to pie tin and press in gently to fit. Patch any rips or tears with an extra piece of pastry. You will have a little pastry left over; wrap and refrigerate, as you will come back to it later.
  • Prick pastry with fork all over bottom and bake for 10 mins at 180°C.
  • Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, place apples in saucepan with coconut sugar and cook on low–medium heat until apples are soft but still holding their form.
  • Add blueberries, ginger and lime zest and cook for another minute, stirring to combine.
  • Transfer fruit mix to pastry case, arranging in neat pile.
  • Take leftover pastry from fridge, roll out and cut 4–5 strips.
  • Lay strips over fruit and press to attach to side of pastry case.
  • Return tin to oven and bake for 45 mins or until the fruit is soft.
