Apple Pie – Homemade Pastry Option
byMy simple apple pie filling, with a homemade pastry. Takes a little longer but wife loves it more than pie made with frozen pastry sheets and she ‘pays’ well.

I usually don’t put up two recipe posts in one week, but this seems to be the month for pies. A friend gave me this recipe a few weeks ago. When I say gave I mean he posted a pic on Facebook of one of the pies he and his wife had just made and it looked so good I insisted he give me the recipe. Same thing, I say.
We’re always looking for new things to do with mince – simple things and cheap things. Secret Squirrel Meat Pies fits the bill. The secret is these pies are full of vegetables – potato, pumpkin, onion, peas and carrot. And yet the kids still love them.
Just to be clear – BBQ sauce in pies, not pies cooked on a BBQ. Well we didn’t, but I guess if you had a decent supply of cold beer you could.
This recipe is a corker, and so very simple, even if it does seem to involve every pan in the drawer. I make it more complex by slow cooking the meat, but you could just cook it in the saucepan if you like.
