Apple Pie : page 194
This is the best apple pie in the known universe. The pastry is lightened by 1/2 tsp baking powder added to 2 cups of plain flour.
For the filling, apple slices are coated in spices, flour and caster (superfine) suger. This forms a syrup with the juice from the apples. Dabs of butter on the filling before you put the lid on get you a lovely gooey sauce.

No Roll Dough : page 447
This amazing dough is perfect for tarts and quiches, anything that doesn't have a lid. It makes a delicious crisp, short pastry.
Self-raising flour mixed with warm milk and melted butter makes a sort of play-dough that you pat out onto the pie plate. At first there doesn't seem to be enough, but the dough expands while you're working it.
Ideal in hot weather, does not need blind baking, and it doesn't matter if the filling is warm.
