FOR THOSE WHO MISS TREATS THAT WON’T MISTREAT YOU
A sweet pie is a great way to make use of the abundance of fruit which flourishes in the summer months. And as we’re a Somerset family, a traditional apple pie is a familiar favourite that is hard to beat. Ground almonds and coconut form our naturally sweet pastry which can be made into mini individual pies for on-the-go, or one big – exceedingly good – pudding to slice and share. It seems only right to enjoy these with a serving of proper, west-country clotted cream – eat your heart out Mr Kipling!
