Serve these sweet apple and berry pies warm with a good drizzle of homemade custard. Store-bought berries tend to be sweeter and have more moisture than wild berries. So if you use store-bought berries, you’ll want to add a little more lemon juice to the filling to balance the tartness and use more thickener (cornstarch or flour) than if you are working with wild berries.

Ingredients

Custard

  • 2 tsp. cornflour

  • 60 g caster sugar

  • 4 egg yolks

  • 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped

  • 100 ml pure (thin) cream

  • 600 ml milk

Apple and Berry Filling

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced

  • 2 tsp. lemon juice

  • 250 g frozen mixed berries

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 140 g chilled unsalted butter, chopped

  • 1/4 cup icing sugar

  • 1 2/3 cups plain flour

Method

  • 01
    Whiz flour, icing sugar, and butter in a food processor until fine crumbs. Add egg yolk and 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water, then whiz until smooth ball forms. Enclose in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • 02
    Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • 03
    For the filling, combine berries, lemon juice, apple and sugar in a bowl. Set aside. Divide dough into four and roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface into a 15cm circle.
  • 04
    Transfer to a baking tray and place a handful of filling in the center of each pastry round, leaving a 3cm border. Fold over pastry edge to enclose filling, pressing down lightly with your fingers to seal. Brush pastry with beaten egg and bake for 20-30 minutes until golden.
  • 05
    Meanwhile, for the custard, place milk, cream, vanilla pod and seeds into a pan over medium heat. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornflour together until smooth.
  • 06
    As soon as the milk mixture starts to bubble, pour it into egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return to pan and place over low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon for 3-4 minutes until thickened and smooth.
  • 07
    Serve pies with warm custard.
