👨🍳 Instruções

To make the pastry, combine flour and salt in a bowl. Rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead briefly, wrap in cling film, and chill for 30 minutes.

In a pan, sauté the chopped bacon until slightly crisp. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Stir in the diced apples, cooked potatoes, sage, and brown sugar.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Ensure the apples are not too soft. - 4
Sprinkle the cornflour over the filling mixture and toss to combine. Pour in the cider and stir well. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: This will help bind the filling. - 5
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F, Gas Mark 4).

Roll out two-thirds of the pastry and line a greased 20-23cm pie dish. Spoon the filling into the pastry-lined dish.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Make sure the pastry comes up the sides of the dish. - 7
Roll out the remaining pastry for the lid. Moisten the rim of the pie dish with water, place the lid on top, and crimp the edges to seal.

Cut a steam vent in the centre of the pie lid. Brush the top with beaten egg.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: This allows steam to escape during baking. - 9
Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: If the crust browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil. - 10
Let the pie cool slightly before serving.
