Preparation steps
1.
For the pastry: sift the flour into a mixing bowl and stir in the salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add enough water until the mixture just comes together as a dough. Roll the dough into a ball, then wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
2.
Heat the oven to 190°C (170° fan) 375°F gas 5. Grease a deep flan tin or dish.
3.
Roll out the dough on a floured work surface, until it is almost twice as wide as the diameter of the pie tin. Line the base and sides of the tin.
4.
For the filling: place all the filling ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Pour into the pastry case.
5.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes until the filling has set. Leave to cool and serve warm with whipped cream sprinkled with ground cinnamon.
