Ingredients

1 lb sausage, casings removed
1 leek, thinly sliced
2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the leeks for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the diced apples, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the apples are slightly tender.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine everything. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and line a greased pie dish with it. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
Spoon the sausage, apple, and leek mixture into the pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the filling, creating a rustic crust. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into slices and enjoy!
