Grandma's Apple Pie

Line a pie tin with pastry, peel 2 Bramley apples and slice into chunks, place apple on pastry and sprinkle over 3/4 tablespoons of sugar. Cover apple with a pastry lid, crimp the edges to seal and brush with beaten egg and sprinkle sugar on before baking in a hot oven for 30 mins.
Cooking the apple this way results in a more "appley" flavour to the finished pie and gives a better texture.
