Quicker to make than a traditional pie, and easy on the purse too

Sausage, apple & leek pie recipe

Ingredients

  • 8 pork sausages
  • 3 leeks, sliced
  • 1 apple, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tbsp grainy mustard
  • 200ml stock
  • 375g pack ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten

Method

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Fry the sausages in a large frying pan until browned all over, remove and set aside. Remove most of the fat left in the pan, then add leeks and soften for 8-10 mins. Add the peeled apple slices and cook for 1 min more. Stir in the flour, followed by the mustard. Pour over the stock and bubble for 2 mins to make a sauce.

  • Chop the sausages into chunks and stir into the pan. Then, tip everything into a large ovenproof dish. Top with the pastry, trimming off any excess and glaze with the egg. Bake for 25 mins until golden.
