Warm apple centre, creamy custard layer and a crumbly top. It's an unbeatable combination. 

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour, sifted

½ brown sugar

½ cup desiccated coconut

125g butter, melted

Icing sugar, for dusting

Filling

800g can pie apples

¾ cup thickened cream

2 eggs

2 Tbsp caster sugar

Topping

½ cup plain flour

½ cup slivered almonds

⅓ cup brown sugar

60g butter, melted

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180C. Lightly grease and line a 18 x 28cm slice pan with baking paper.

  2. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar and coconut. Blend in butter. Press mixture firmly into prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned. Cool.

  3. To make filling, spread apples evenly over base. Whisk together cream, eggs and sugar. Pour over apples. Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm. 

  4. To make topping, in a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Sprinkle evenly over slice. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool in pan. Dust with icing sugar before cutting into squares. 

Top tip! 

If preferred, use 1 sheet of shortcrust pastry for the base. Prick the base with a fork and bake for 10 minutes before covering with filling.
