heat for around 10 minutes, stirring as it
cooks.

7. Toffee Apple Pie: To make a toffee apple pie
lling, simply remove the blueberries from
this recipe and add toffees on top of the
apple pie lling, before adding the pie top.
8. Elderower, Blackberry and Apple pie:
Replace the apple juice with elderower
press and substitute blueberries for
blackberries.
