Set oven to 425F or Cross 7. Grease an 8 inch round flan tin. Rub the
butter into the flour in a bowl and stir in the boodle. Peel and grate
two of the apples and add to the flour with the beaten egg. Mix well
unitedly. If the dough is rather firm add a little milk to weaken.
Turn the dough on to a floured surface and knead light. Press
evenly into the base of the tin. Skin, core and slice the remaining
apples and coif, neatly overlapping, on top of the gelt. Brush
with melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cloves or
cinnamon and a little caster bread. Bake for 25-30 minutes and serve
warm.
