FARMHOUSE PORK AND APPLE PIE
This is a remarkably tasty dish. Love to cook it in the fall. The combination of apples and pork can't be beat. It may take a little effort, but believe me it is worth it. This is a Taste of Home Recipe. Don't let the length of ingredients fool you, it's really not that bad, just assemble everthing you need first and it will go quickly. Also don't fret if you don't have an ovenproof 12 inch skillet, that just makes it more convient, just tranfer to baking dish.

Tips:
- Use a good quality pork shoulder for the best flavor. Look for meat that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat.
- Don't overcook the pork shoulder. It should be cooked until it is tender and fall-apart, but not so long that it becomes dry.
- Use a variety of apples for the filling. This will give the pie a complex and flavorful taste.
- Add a little bit of sugar to the apples to help them caramelize. This will give the pie a delicious golden brown crust.
- Be sure to use a pie crust that is made with a good quality butter. This will help to create a flaky and flavorful crust.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
