Ingredients

  • 90 g brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  2. Line a 23 cm pie plate with one crust. Add half the apples, dot with arequipe and cover with remaining apples.
  3. Top with the second crust, seal, cut vents and brush with egg.

Arequipe noteResting lets the juices thicken; slicing hot gives you delicious but messy pie.
Keep the jar open
