Double Apple Pot Pie for #SundaySupper

This is a pie that proved me wrong.

Remember how I mentioned back in my Grape and Ground Cherry Crumble Pie with Potato Pastry Crust post that the crust mixture would likely be too heavy to readily use as a topper? Well, guess what - I went ahead and did it anyway, and it worked! Granted, I took a few steps to make sure everything for this sweet little pot pie turned out well:  I chose a sturdier fruit (cooking apples) and rolled the top crust as thin as I could. When it baked up it was light, crispy and almost flaky, though I wouldn't dare say it was as good as my mom's (which uses shortening) or my Grandma's (which uses lard).

I took a different turn than usual with my apple filling as well - normally I just peel, slice and plop in the fruit, but this time I sauteed the apples in a dash of water first and then cooked them to a silky firm-but-tender state in a couple spoonfuls of Crab Apple Jelly. Because I was only making a small "pot pie" sized pastry (I was giving it to my Grandma who was having a few friends over), the bake time was a little less than standard, but I like the smaller serving size - it's cute and you don't have to think about leftovers! Since I had another apple and some "bottom of the jar" jelly on hand after the pie was in the oven, I did the whole saute thing again and poured it back into the jar for a "double apple" jam / pie filling - no waste!

This #SundaySupper event is all about the apple - check out the sweet and savoury offerings on the menu tonight!
