Here are the steps to make a delicious farmhouse pork and apple pie that will warm your heart and taste buds:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cut into small cubes
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 cups thinly sliced apples (about 6 medium apples)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Pie crust for double crust pie (homemade or store bought)
- Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
- Coarse sugar (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pork cubes and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
3. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside in a bowl. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the onions are softened.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pork, onion mixture, sliced apples, apple cider vinegar, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
5. Roll out one half of the pie crust dough and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the pork and apple mixture into the pie dish and dot with the cut butter pieces.
6. Roll out the second half of the pie crust dough and carefully lay it over the top of the pork and apple mixture. Trim off any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the pie and sprinkle with coarse sugar (if using).
8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious farmhouse pork and apple pie!
