Easy Apple Slice by Alison Holst...
125gr butter
½ cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
1½ teaspoon baking powder
Cold stewed apple
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, flour and baking powder. Mix well and knead into ball. Use 1/2 pastry and press into baking paper lined sq tin 23cm. Spread over cold stewed apple. With other 1/2 of pastry, grate over apple (you can roll out for lid if you want to muck around). Bake 180oC for 30 minutes.

This is a easy cheats way to make one. Tastes delicious.
340g pkt buttercake mix (I just use no name brand)
1 cup (90g) desiccated coconut
125g butter, melted
400g can apple pieces
300g sour cream
1 tsp cinnamon sugar

Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 20cm square cake pan. Line base and the two opposite sides with baking paper, extending the paper 5cm over edge of pan.

Combine cake mix, coconut and butter in a medium bowl. Press mixture evenly over base of prepared pan. Cook for 15 mins, or until lightly browned. Cool slightly.

Spread apple evenly over base, then spread sour cream evenly over apple and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Cook for further 20 mins, or until sour cream has set.

Even easier cheats way - packet of sweet short pastry... . place one layer in tin, prick with fork add tin of apple pie filling, place another sheet of pastry on top, prick with fork. bake in moderate oven for about 20 mins. Cool and dust with icing sugar. Just like you would buy from a bakery. My kids love it!

This one makes a lot, but it freezes well. I made it for the first time last week, it is my mother-in-law's recipe... . I did freeze a slab, but it has already been "liberated" and consumed...
