Cheshire (Like) Pork And Apple Pie
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
- Salt and pepper to season the pork
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 large onion, quartered and then thinly sliced
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch (about 3 smallish potatoes)
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored and cut in 1/2 inch cubes ( I used 2 Granny Smith and 1 Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon AP flour
- 1 sheet puff pastry from a 17.3 ounce package
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- Heat 1 tablespoon each of the butter and oil in a large saute pan. Season the pork pieces generously with salt and pepper and then brown them in batches. Remove them to a bowl once browned.
- Add the remaining butter and oil to the pan and saute the onions. Once they have softened a bit, add the potato slices and continue to saute and stir for a few minutes.
- Add the apples and saute and stir for a few more minutes. Stir in the sugar, salt, cayenne and flour.
- Add the wine and cook until the mixture begins to thicken a bit. Now add the pork pieces and mix thoroughly.
- Transfer the mixture to a high sided baking dish (about 9 x11 inches with 3 inch high sides).
- Roll your puff pastry sheet to fit over the top of the casserole dish and tuck in the excess dough. Brush the top with the egg wash and vent the top. Bake in a pre heated 400F oven for 40 to 50 minutes until the crust is nice and brown. Let stand for about 10 minutes before digging in.
