Cook for 10 minutes then stir in cornflour until it just starts to thicken. It shouldn't be too thick. Allow mix to cool slightly.
Roll out dough for top of pie - not too thin - and cut 1/2 inch strips with pizza wheel or knife. Fill base of pie with filling. Place strips of dough on top of filling in 1 direction - leaving a gap the same size as the strip of dough between dough strips Turn pie and put strips in opposite direction - leaving gaps again.
