Pastry:

250 g flour

Peel, quarter and slice enough apples to fill tin. Arrange top layer artistically (or not) ; Squeeze 2 tab. of lemon juice over them.
Bake for 20 - 25 mins on 180 ° C (fan forced oven). Watch the apples don't burn too much on the top (see picture - Christine will tell you why!).
