Fidget Pie

This recipe was made at harvest time in Shropshire, to feed the farm
labourers.

A piece of bacon, cooked and cut into chunks
1 lb cooking apples (sharp apples, with a crisp texture)
cider
flour, pepper, brown sugar
pastry

Put the bacon pieces into a pie dish. Sprinkle with flour and pepper,
and cover with cider. Add a layer of apples and a little brown sugar.
Cover with shortcrust pastry, and bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes, and
a further 20-30 minutes at reduced heat.
