Peel apples and remove their cores. Slice thickly and place in bowl of water with squirt of lemon juice to stop them browning.
Melt butter in non-stick frying pan then add the apples. The goal is to colour and soften the apples. Scatter sugar on the apples and continue cooking until lightly caramelised.
As soon as they show sign of frothing remove from heat.

Brush edge of lined dish with juice from apples, fill the dish with the apples. Roll out the remaining pastry and lay over the fruit. (a floured baking tray could help here or parchment paper!)
Press edges together and patch where necessary. Brush the pastry lightly with milk and then sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30-40mins till pastry is golden brown. Leave to cool briefly and the sugar before serving.
