Ingredients
  • 350g ready-made shortcrust pastry rolled into a ball
  • 150g Asda ES sourdough boule, crusts removed
  • 200g pecans
  • 1 apple, peeled and cored
  • 50g Asda ES Cornish butter, melted
  • 300g maple or golden syrup, plus 1tbsp for drizzling
  • Zest and juice 1/2 orange
  • Flour for dusting
Method

  • Lightly dust the work surface with flour and thinly roll out the pasty into a large disk. Use to line a 22cm loose bottomed fluted flan tin. Prick the base a few times with a fork and trim off any excess pastry. Chill for 30 minutes.

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180Cfan/gas6. Fill the pastry case with baking paper and baking beans. Blind bake for 15 minutes, remove the paper and the beans and bake for a further 5 minutes until a pale golden colour.

  • Meanwhile, blitz the bread in a food processor until you have a fine crumb. Add the apple, melted butter, maple syrup, orange juice and zest and half the pecans. Blitz until you have a coarse paste, spoon the mixture into the cooked pastry case and spread into an even layer.

  • Roughly chop the remaining pecan and scatter over the top, reduce the oven temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 15 minutes.

  • Allow to cool slightly before drizzling over 1tbsp of maple syrup. Remove from the tin and serve with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of clotted cream.
