Apple, Raisins, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon & Custard in a Buttery Shortcrust Pastry

Apple and Custard Pasty – a sweet twist on a Cornish classic that’s as comforting as a fireside chat. Tucked inside that familiar buttery crust lies spiced apples, with just the right balance of sweet and tart and kissed by a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of clove. Sprinkled with plump raisins that have soaked up all those lovely spices, adding little bursts of sweetness in every bite. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, there’s a luxurious swirl of rich and creamy vanilla bean custard.

The result is a pasty that’s part dessert, part tradition, and entirely delicious. It’s the kind of treat that begs to be enjoyed with a cup of tea, whether you’re sitting by the fire or taking a break in the garden. This dessert Pasty is the perfect indulgence for anyone with a sweet tooth.

How to Bake Your Pasty – The Proper Way

Whether you’re an oven traditionalist or an air fryer fan,
here’s how to get your pasty piping hot and proper tasty.

 

Quick Tips Before You Start

• Thaw it first if you can – it’ll bake quicker.
• Baking from frozen? No problem – just give it a bit more time.

 

Oven Method

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Remove all packaging
3. Place it on a baking tray (use parchment paper if you like less mess).
4. Bake for 20 – 30 minutes, or until it hits 165°F (74°C) in the center.
5. Not quite there yet? Pop it back in for a few more minutes.
6. Let it cool for a few minutes before tucking in – trust us, your tongue will thank you.

 

Air Fryer Method

1. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
2. Removepackaging and place the pasty in the basket or baking tray.
3. Cook until it reaches 165°F (74°C) inside – usually a bit quicker than the oven.
4. Need it crispier? Add a couple more minutes.
5. Let it sit a minute or two before you dig in – don’t be burning yer gob now!

 

Sauce & Sippin’ Suggestions

Sure, pasties are brilliant on their own – but if you’re
feeling fancy:

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
• Pour some warm custard over the pasty for a double dose of custard

Drink pairing? A proper cuppa tea would go down a treat!
