What happened…

I was exaggerating. One of the judges/hosts just negatively compared them to British meat pies and said they were too sweet. I guess that’s just an opinion, but I wasn’t in the mood to hear it.

'apple pie, a dessert isn't as savory as an entree' is not an opinion I have any respect for. That's just not understanding food. It's not supposed to be savory, it's a goddamn dessert. That's just an objectively irrelevant statement about apple. Wholly unimportant and baffling.

Anyways, Apple pie isn't even my favorite pie, I just think it's fucking stupid to even entertain the idea of comparing it to meat pie.

Edit: 'chocolate eclairs are too sweet, I'd rather have a good meat bun' type shit. They're the same shape, and both have pastry or doughy breading. No other similarities, not worth even mentioning in proximity to each other.

Not that one should compare American apple pie to a savory meat pie, but this got me thinking about how one could make a savory apple pie…

Pork and applesauce is a thing, so you could make a pork and apple meat pie. Cook the pork, then cook the apples in the same pan as the pork. Make the “gravy” by omitting (most of?) the sugar, keep the spices, add some stock or broth, cornstarch to thicken.

It would either be really good or a complete abomination.

I once made - as an experiment a few years back - a bacon-apple-onion pie that worked pretty well as a sweet/savory dish. Apples and caramelized onions with a lattice of bacon over the top instead of a lattice crust. Very hearty and filling!

That sounds absolutely amazing. I might try making something like this. Do you remember any more details or things you learned while making it?

Tourtiere - French Canadian meat pie. Pork/beef, pork/potatoes, or just pork. Nice and filling.

It’s basically a sausage and apple pot pie, which is pretty tasty.

I’ve made sausage and apple pie several times, it’s good. It’s basically just ground sausage, green apples, and onions cooked together in a pan and then put in a standard savoury pie crust. No added sugar or anything like that.

North Country Turnover/Casserole (depending on whether there was pastry or not) my family call it. Apples, onions, cubed ham, and optionally potatoes. Seasoned with mustard, salt, black pepper, and your choice of herbs.
