Pie with mandarins, apples, and pudding
Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. The pie is made easily, although it takes time. But, as they say, it’s worth it. A delicate creamy pudding layer with fragrant mandarins and apples between two crunchy, short‑crust bases. The pie fully deserves a festive table. If you don’t have store‑bought pudding, you can easily make it yourself. After all, it’s the same custard. I made my pie with half the usual amount of ingredients. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
