Apple Puree Pie
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. The apples in this recipe are barely noticeable, as they are pre-baked and their aroma is overpowered by honey and cinnamon. It's best to use firm, tart apples that have been sitting around unused. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 1
Cut the cold butter into pieces and rub it into the flour and salt until it forms fine crumbs. Add a little cold water and knead into a firm dough. With your hands, press the dough evenly onto the bottom and sides of a wide baking pan, then place it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling. Cut the apples in half, remove the cores, place the apples cut-side down on a baking sheet, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10–15 minutes, until softened.
