"DH was going through Country Women's Association cookbook from a set of 2 that the DD gave me for Christmas and as I have been looking for a good apple slice recipe I knew I had to give this one a go especially as CWA recipes are respected and definitely true and tried. I have made passionfruit icing as optional in the filling ingredients at DH's request as he does not like it. Times and serves are estimated. UPDATE have since made this and had some issues but the DH and I agree it is a good base to start with but need to make changes to suit his tastes more 1 of which is to add less sugar especially to the filling, 2 to dice the apples and add the cinnamon and clove when cooking and forget the water and just use the lemon juice and to omit mashing them making sure the apple is just cooked and also he wants more apple and then to work on the base and top as he is looking for something between and shortbread and a cake and it felt this recipe was to cakey."
