Sausage, apple & leek pie

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

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

Serves 6

Prep time 10 mins

Cook time 45 mins

1. 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.

2. 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.
