Deep Dish Apple Pie

What is it?

Deep-filled and sold frozen, this apple pie has sliced apples suspended in a cinnamon-sugar sauce, all tucked under a golden pastry lid. The filling is dense rather than runny, so the apples keep some shape after baking while softening through. Bake it from frozen until the pastry browns and the edges start to caramelise. Compared with other Sara Lee pies, the deep-dish format gives you more filling and a thicker centre, with the cinnamon sitting alongside the apple instead of taking over.
