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:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp.
- Slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcook the apples: They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Use a good quality pork pie crust: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the pie.
- Be patient: Pork pies take a little time to make, but they're worth the wait!
