Poverty Pie - 1940's image

From a feature in our State paper with recipes through the ages. The recipe states 1 quantity of shortcrust pastry (frozen or homemade - let time and economy decide), I've estimated this to 3 or 4 sheets, sheets are about 22cm to 23cm square. Cooking and prep times are also estimated.

Poverty Pie is a nostalgic dish for me. My grandmother used to make it when I was a child, and the smell of apples and cinnamon always brings back fond memories. I love that I can now make it myself and share it with my own family.

Poverty Pie is a great way to use up leftover apples. I had a bunch of apples that were starting to go bad, so I decided to give this recipe a try. The pie was delicious, and I'm so glad I didn't let those apples go to waste.
