In light of the impact the Covid-19 pandemic is having on the country, we’re all having to make the best of what we have in the kitchen.
And Lisa and John’s scrumptious sounding trick is the perfect way to create something delicious - even if you suspect you don’t have lots of ingredients.
The iconic telly couple’s apple pie recipe doesn’t even call for any pastry to be made.

Food expert John even went on to compare the sweet snack to an apple pie from fast food chain, McDonald’s.
The super simple method involves cooking apples in sugar, butter, water and vanilla and then rolling out slices of bread, filling it with the apples and baking it with a brushing of melted butter and a sprinkle of sugar.
Lots of Lisa and John’s loyal fans took to the comment section to praise them for sharing the cooking tips during this tough time.
‘Love watching you guys after a hard shift in ambulance control yesterday,’ one key worker penned.
‘I am loving these videos 💖 You’re making cooking so accessible and you bring a smile to my face too ... thank you 😊,’ chipped in a second grateful commenter.
Meanwhile a third agreed, ‘Can I just say a big thank you to you both. No longer am I stuck with what to do for dinner! And you’re both so lovely thank you.’
