Tips:
- To make the perfect apple pork pie, it's important to use a good quality pork shoulder. Look for meat that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the pie moist and flavorful.
- When cooking the pork, be sure to brown it well on all sides before adding it to the pie filling. This will help develop a rich, savory flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different apple varieties in your pie. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
- To make sure your pie crust is flaky and golden brown, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help create a tender, flaky crust.
- Be sure to chill your pie dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with.
- When assembling your pie, be sure to leave a little space between the filling and the top crust. This will allow the filling to bubble up and prevent the pie from overflowing.
- To get a perfectly golden brown crust, brush the top of the pie with an egg wash before baking.
Conclusion:

With its savory pork filling, sweet and tangy apples, and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
