Apple, Pork & Leek Pie

A couple of weeks ago we acquired an allotment, which had plenty of weeds to clear, but also quite a few leeks. They were a bit past their best but once the tough centre had been removed the rest was fine, and once they had all been cleaned up and sliced I ended up with 3 large freezer bags full. Next came the job of deciding what to do with all those leeks, and first I made a chunky leek & potato soup, which the kids lapped up for lunch within hours of the leeks being picked.

With some pork left over from a roast the natural thing to make next was a pork and leek pie, which I added some grated apple to and a handful of sage. There are no accurate measurements for this pie as I never weighed the leftover pork or leeks, so just use whatever you have.
