Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160/gas 4 and grease a large baking sheet. Unravel the pastry and place on the baking sheet. Mix the sliced apple and rhubarb with the sugar, ginger and cornflour then pile into the centre of the pastry. Gather up the sides of the pastry to enclose the fruit so that the pie looks like a rough tart - you need to work with the size of the pastry so it will be more of an oblong shape than round.
  2. Brush the pastry with milk and scatter with demerara. Bake for 35 mins until the pastry is golden and the fruit is tender. Cut into slices and serve with custard.

    This really was great. Mainly I suspect because its covered in sugar, but was really nice. Watch out if you have leaks in your pastry sides you will get a big pool of juice at the bottom of your oven... Still tasted good though. Will definitely make again. (Especially now they have corrected the recipe to include the right amount of sugar).

    Really easy to make! Made my own wheat-free shortcrust pastry, which worked v.well - not as sweet as it might usually be, so maybe I'll add a bit of sugar into that next time.

    I don't like rhubarb or ginger so tried with apple and blackberries instead, was delicious and the scrunch method is easier than lining a dish and making sure there are no holes, and it looks good too. Will definately use this method again :)

    I made this as a crumble and my children are sneaking into the kitchen to eat it out of the pie-dish. They don't seem to realise it is rhubarb!
