Broad beansI got some in my veg box too, and made a vaguely Chinesey dish from them and the accompanying...
This is one our favorite recipes. I just baked one for our 4th of July dinner. Bramley apples are probably the best subsbreastute for the Golden Delicious specified.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- Filling 6 Each Golden Delicious Apples 1-2 Each Lemon -- juice only 2-3 Cup Granulated Sugar 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour 1-2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon 1-4 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg 1-4 Teaspoon Salt Crumb Topping 1 Cup All-purpose Flour 1 Cup Granulated Sugar 1-2 Cup Unsalted Butter Pastry 1 Each Shortcrust Pastry -- to Fit Deep 10-inch Pie Plate Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Line pie plate with pastry, creating high crimped edge. Set aside.
Prepare crumb topping by combing flour and sugar, then cutting in butter to form large crumbs Set aside.
Prepare filling by peeling, coring, and cutting apples into quarters. Slice quarters into thin slices. Toss with lemon juice.
Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss with apple mixture until thorough coated.
Arrange apple mixture compactly into pastry shell, then cover filling with crumb topping. Do not press down on topping. It should have a loose consistency.
Bake pie for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F., and continue baking an additional 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F., and continue baking until pie is light golden brown and filling is bubbling. Because this is a large thick pie, this may take as long as an additional 30 minutes.
Remove pie from oven and place on cooling rack. Allow pie to cool at least 3-4 hours before serving.
Serve with rich vanilla ice cream.
NOTES : A Pryex, stoneware, or pottery pie plate is preferred over metal for this pie. If pastry and topping reach golden brown before the filling is bubbling, shield the entire pie with a tent of aluminum foil. Actually, I do this about half way through the baking process.
