Method

Sauté the onion and celery in a large pan with oil for 10 minutes until soft.

Remove vegetables, then brown the pork in batches over medium-high heat.

Return all ingredients to the pan, stir in the flour, and cook for one minute.

Stir in 175ml cider, stock, apples, and sage, then simmer for 45 minutes until tender.

Season the filling, transfer to a 1.2 litre pie dish, and let it cool.

Mix the egg, 125ml cider, olive oil, baking powder, salt, and flour into a soft dough.

Rest the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes and preheat oven to 200°C.

Roll pastry to 3mm thickness and seal onto the dampened rim of the pie dish.

Brush with egg wash and bake for 40 minutes until golden.
