350gm bacon (not precut)
1 large onion
1 large cooking apple
parsley
S&P
200ml dry cider
1 tbls cornflour

Keeping everything roughly the same size:

Peel & roughly dice potatoes. Parboil.
Peel & roughly dice onion.
Dice bacon.

Start bacon in a cold pan, add onion once fat is rendered, add potato, cook stirring occasionally for 10 minutes on low heat.

Peel & roughly dice apple. (I used Granny Smith, use Bramley if you can get it)

Remove from heat, add peeled & roughly diced apple & chopped parsely. Season.

Tip this mix into a pie dish.

Mix cider with corn flour, and pour over pie filling.

Top with pastry of choice. Make sure to leave a hole in the centre.

The recipe I followed tonight called for shortcrust, brushed with egg wash [b]but[/b] I couldnt be bothered, and had filo that needed to be used so I scrunched it all up with melted butter.

Bake in a moderate oven (180 degrees C) for 35-40 minutes.

Serve with salad, or steamed green veg.
