Ingredients
- 175g Co-op plain white flour, plus 1 tbsp
- 175g Co-op unsalted butter, cold
- 30g Co-op Parmesan wedge, grated
- 1 tbsp Co-op olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 apples (we used Royal Gala) cored and thinly sliced
- 4 thyme sprigs, plus extra to serve
- 1 tbsp Co-op wholegrain mustard
- 60g Co-op Irresistible Somerset extra mature Cheddar, grated
- 1 Co-op British free range egg, beaten
- 150g bag Co-op Bistro salad
Method
- Put 175g of the flour in a bowl and grate in the butter
- Rub the butter into the flour until you have a crumb texture
- Add the Parmesan along with 2 tbsp ice cold water and knead until it comes together
- Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion for 10-12 mins, until soft
- Add the apple, thyme and mustard and cook for 2 mins
- Stir in 1 tbsp flour, leave to cool completely, then remove the woody thyme stalks
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6
- Take the pastry out of the fridge and roll out on a floured surface to about the thickness of a pound coin
- It doesn’t matter if the edges are rough, and it doesn’t have to be a perfect circle. Carefully transfer to a lined baking tray
- Spoon the apple mixture into the middle of the pastry and spread out, leaving a 5cm border
- Sprinkle over the Cheddar, then fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, leaving a hole in the middle
- Brush the pastry all over with the egg
- Bake for 35-40 mins, until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbling
- Allow to cool for 5 mins, then sprinkle with the extra thyme, slice and serve with the salad on the side
