In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, breadcrumbs, custard powder, sugar, cinnamon powder, and lemon juice. Mix well until all components are evenly coated and the mixture is combined.
- 3
**Preparing the Pastry:**
- 4
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out half of the pre-made shortcrust pastry to fit the base of a bratt pan (or suitable baking tray), ensuring it’s about 3mm thick. Line the bratt pan with the pastry, allowing excess to hang over the edges.

**Assembling the Pie:**
- 6
Pour the apple filling into the lined bratt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- 7
Roll out the remaining shortcrust pastry and carefully place it over the filling. Seal the edges by pinching them together and trimming any excess pastry. Cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
