Pre-heat oven to 220°C. Grease and line with baking paper, a 23cm pie dish.

Step 2

Peel and core apple; slice thinly. Place in a large saucepan with caster sugar; cook, covered, over low heat, 10min; or until apples are just tender.

Step 3

Strain over a small saucepan; reserve cooking juice. Blend cornflour and water, stir into reserved cooking juice over low heat until mixture just boils and thickens. Place apples into a large bowl, gently stir in cornflour mixture, set aside. Make pastry.
