How to Make Shropshire Fidget Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Gently fry the sliced potatoes, onions, and apples in the butter until lightly golden. This takes about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the potato, onion, and apple mixture with a slotted spoon and set aside to keep warm.
- Add the diced ham to the pan and fry lightly in the remaining butter for 2-3 minutes.
- In a 1 1/2 to 2-pint pie dish, layer the ham, then the potato, onion, and apple mixture. Season generously with sugar, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Pour the stock evenly over the layered ingredients.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a circle slightly larger than your pie dish.
- Carefully cover the pie with the pastry, trimming and sealing the edges. Crimp the edges decoratively. Cut several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top of the pastry with milk or beaten egg for a golden glaze.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Traditionally served without vegetables, but carrots or cabbage are a delicious accompaniment.
