Ingredients
For the crust:- 2 cups all-purpose flour- 1 teaspoon salt- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed- 1/2 cup cold waterFor the filling:- 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into bite-sized pieces- 2 apples, peeled and chopped- 1 onion, chopped- 2 cloves garlic, minced- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage- 1 tablespoon olive oil- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. To make the crust, combine the flour, salt, and sage in a large mixing bowl. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and cubed butter, and use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.2. Gradually add the cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together into a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.4. To make the filling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.5. Add the chopped apples, onion, garlic, and sage to the skillet and cook until the onion is translucent and the apples are softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.6. Roll out one of the chilled dough disks on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Fill the pie crust with the apple and onion mixture, then top with the cooked pork tenderloin.7. Roll out the second chilled dough disk and place it over the top of the pie. Crimp the edges of the crust together, then cut a few slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.8. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
