1 ¼ cups plain flour
120 g cold unsalted butter, diced
½ tsp salt
¼ cup plain yoghurt
¼ cup sour cream
1 tbsp grainy mustard
½ cup Parmesan, finely grated
2 Granny Smith apples
1 tsp brown mustard seeds
1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill tips
freshly cracked black pepper
Method
Preheat oven to 180˚C.
Place the flour, butter and salt in a food processor and process until the texture of coarse breadcrumbs.Add the yoghurt and process until the pastry just starts to form but is not yet a mass.
Turn out onto a floured bench, press together, wrap in glad wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Mix the sour cream, grainy mustard and ¼ cup grated Parmesan together in a small bowl.
Leaving the skin on and whole, thinly slice the apples crossways.
