Answers:
This is the season of bounty and its been a wonderful year for apples!. Consider doing some tradtional apple pie making using cooking apples!.!.
Not only can you try out pastry making skills, but could also try doing a rich shortcrust (added egg to pastry) which is harder to handle but nicer to eat!.
You can also consider adding whole cloves and / or cinnamon to the apples!. Cloves are traditional!. Why is a question you can research!.
If you have blackberries nearby pick some of those and make apple and blackberry pie (but omit the cloves etc)!. As well as being free, this will show you have knowledge of traditional seasonal foods!.
Finally, consider how you are going to decorate the pie and if you are going to use a pastry funnel or not!. Crimping the pastry edges and making leaf shapes out of spare pastry and then glazing with milk and sprinkling sugar on top will show off your creative skills!.
I dont know if you have to make custard to go with it - that is then another element!.
In short - there is a lot more to making an apple pie than people imagine and it is a skill that will prove useful your entire life!.
Good luck and have fun
