dry cured premium gammon steaks or thick bacon chops (approx 200g each), fat and rind removed and cut
1 teaspoon
olive oil
1
onion, peeled and roughly chopped
2
eating apples, e.g Cox's, cored and cut into wedges
5

150ml
cider or apple juice
6
new potatoes, scrubbed and cut into small cubes
Large knob

1 x 500g
pack prepared flaky or puff pastry
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, 220ºC Fan, Gas Mark 6.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the gammon or bacon chunks and onion and cook until it changes colour and is starting to brown. Add the apples, sage, mustard, cider or apple juice and potatoes. Combine well together and bring to the boil for 10 minutes under a moderate heat.
Step 3
Divide the mixture between 4 individual ovenproof pie dishes or transfer to a large ovenproof pie dish.

Step 5
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is risen and golden brown.
