Apple filling sits in a shortcrust pastry case with a pastry lid, ready to bake from frozen. Inside, you get soft cooked apple in a sweet sauce, held in a firm, crumbly shell that browns in the oven. It's one of Aunt Bessie's frozen dessert-style bakes, alongside other freezer staples rather than the brand's savoury pies and puddings. Serve it once the pastry is cooked through and the filling is bubbling at the centre. It pairs well with custard, cream, or vanilla ice cream, and feeds two to four depending on how generously you slice. Let it rest for a few minutes after baking so the filling doesn't scald.
