My Aunt Joan’s Apple Slice – I make it all the time.

4 ounces butter, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup of brown sugar (firmly packed), mix together then add 1 cup plain flour and 1 cup self raising flour. Press half the mixture onto the base of a slice tray, cook for 20 minutes at 180 degrees, put on apple stew, top with remaining pastry and cook for a further 20 minutes
