METHOD

MAKES 16



  1. Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease a 20 x 30cm slice pan and line with baking paper.

  2. In a food processor combine flour, butter and sugar. Pulse until a fine crumb forms. Add egg and pulse to combine. Then add enough water to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a clean surface. Shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.

  3. Roll out pastry between two sheets of baking paper until 3mm thick. Ease into pan, trimming edges to fit. Top with apple and sultanas and sprinkle with cinnamon.

  4. TOPPING: Place eggs and sugar in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat for 3-4 minutes until thick and pale. Beat in cheese, semolina and zest until just combined.

  5. Spread topping over apples and sprinkle with almonds.

  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until firm in the centre and lightly golden. Cool completely in pan. Dust with icing sugar and cut into squares to serve.
