Recipe
1. Process flour,

if needed. Transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until just
smooth. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile,
combine apple, sugar, 2 tablespoons cold water, cinnamon and cloves in a
saucepan over medium heat. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes
or until apple is tender. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool.
3. Preheat oven to
200°C/180°C fan-forced. Grease a 2.5cm-deep, 11cm x 34cm loose-based, fl uted
tart pan. Reserve ¹⁄³of the pastry. Roll remaining pastry between 2 sheets of
baking paper until 3mm thick. Line base and sides of prepared pan with pastry.
Trim edges. Chill for 15 minutes.
4. Line pastry with
baking paper. Fill with baking weights or uncooked rice. Blind-bake for 10
minutes. Remove paper and weights or rice. Bake for a further 6 to 8 minutes or
until golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
5. Drain apple
mixture. Add blueberries. Toss to combine. Spoon into pastry case.
6. Roll reserved
pastry between 2 sheets of baking paper until 3mm thick. Cut into 2cm x
15cm-long strips. Lightly brush edge of pie with a little egg. Arrange strips
over apple mixture to form a lattice pattern. Brush with egg. Sprinkle evenly
