[Sca-cooks] Sausage & Apple Pie

[Raphaella DiContini]

There's an apple and pork pie recipe that I used for a casual dinner this past summer: Heathens’ cakes
(Daz buch von gutter spise, ca. 1350)
These are called heathens’ cakes.  Take a dough, and roll it out until it is very thin.  Add boiled meat, chopped bacon, apples, pepper and eggs.  Bake that and serve it, and don’t spoil it.
 
In joyous service, 
Raffaella

The use of flour is another modern addition. There are several recipes on the web
for Apple and Sausage Pies. For example
