Directions

  1. Make the pastry: Sift the flour, sugar, and salt together. Stir in the butter, lemon juice, and Large eggs. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and briefly knead. Shape into a ball and cover with a damp cloth. Refrigeratefor 1 hour.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the Swiss chard, and cook for 10 min, add in the spinach and continue to cook for 5 more min. Run under cool water and drain. Squeeze out excess water and finely chop. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small sauce pan cook the sultanas or possibly raisins in the rum till almost all the rum is absorbed, about 2 min. Cold then mix with the Swiss chard, spinach, pine nuts, sugar, 2 Large eggs, and lemon zest.
  3. Lightly butter a 12-inch by 10-inch baking dish. Divide the dough into a one third piece and a two third piece. On a lightly floured surface, roll the two thirds portion of dough into 1/8-inch thick rectangle. Line the bottom and sides of the baking dish. Prick all over with a fork and add in the Swiss chard mix. Arrange the apples in a single layer over the chard. Roll out the remaining dough to 1/8-inch thick rectangle. Cover the filled baking dish with the dough. Crimp edges, trim excess and prick with a fork. Brush the top with the beaten egg yolk. Bake for 30 min or possibly till the dough is crisp and golden brown.
