Pumpkin & Apple Pie

By Lyn Funnell

I’ve made Pumpkin Pie several times and the Americans love it but I’ve found it too bland and tasteless.

But I decided to have one last try as I had a glut of pumpkins and apples.

Halloween and Pumpkins

All ingredients are approximate. You can vary the spices.

12 ozs cooked pumpkin

4 ozs cooked apple

2 eggs

4ozs sugar, whatever is available.

4 tblsps honey

1  1/2tsps cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp cloves

1/2 tsp salt

For the pastry, I used a packet of ready rolled shortcrust, which I rolled out even thinner.

Butter a pie dish and line the pastry in it.

I had enough for two dishes. I gave one pie to my neighbour.

Blitz all the ingredients together and pour into the dishes.

Shake a thin layer of sugar over the top and bake for up to an hour until the filling begins to solidify.

Serve in slices, with cream in you like.
