To Make the Pastry
- Place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix together using one hand
- The mixture will be rather sticky, so place on a floured board and knead gently and the pastry will quickly become pliable and ready to roll out
- Wrap in plastic and leave to rest in the refrigerator until required
To Prepare the Filling
- Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the apple chunks and cook for 5 minutes
- Remove the apples and toss the berries in the syrup, then remove
- Roll the pastry out to a large circle to line a deep pie dish, large enough to have a 5cm (2") excess border hanging over the edge of the pie dish
- Spoon the fruit into the case with a little of the syrup. Bring the edges up and over, it is meant to look ragged
- Brush the pastry edge with the egg white and scatter the crushed sugar all over the top
- Bake for 30-35 minutes as set out below
- Serve with creme fraiche
