4 cups apples, diced to ½” pieces with the core removed
½ cup onion, minced
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup white vinegar
2 Tbsp apple cider
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp mustard seed
1/8 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp saffron powder
¾ tsp salt
Mix all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it is boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 50-60 minutes, until the liquid is reduced to a small amount of thick syrup. Remove from heat and let cool completely so that it can continue to thicken.

double batch of pie crust dough
2 ½ cups diced potatoes
1 ½ cup diced onion
¼ cup half-and-half, or milk
½ cup ground mustard seed
1 ½ cup grated or cubed cheese
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
beaten egg and milk to glaze the crusts
Bring water to boil in a large pot over high heat. Add the potato and onion. Cover the pan and boil until the potatoes are soft (this timing depends on how small the pieces are). Remove from heat, strain away the water, and put the potatoes and onions in a large bowl.
Add the half-and-half to the bowl. Mash everything until the potatoes are smooth. Stir in the mustard, salt, pepper, and cheese.
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Make small balls of pastry dough and roll them out to small circles, about 5”-6” wide. Put a spoonful of filling onto each circle, wet the edges of the crust with water, then fold them in half, pinching the edges together. You should be able to make 8 pasties.
Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Glaze the top with a mixture of beaten egg and a bit of milk. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crusts are golden brown.

Crust:
1 cup flour
6 Tbsp butter
¼ cup cold water
1/8 tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp basil
¼ tsp ground mustard seed
Filling:
½ cup diced potato
½ cup minced carrots
½ cup minced celery
½ cup minced onion
½ cup chopped green beans
2 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp butter
¼ tsp rosemary
¼ tsp fennel seed
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
½ cup vegetable stock
Crust: Stir together the flour, salt, pepper, basil, and ground mustard. Cut in the butter until the flour is all moistened, but leave some larger chunks of butter. Stir in the water to make a soft dough. Press the dough together, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill while making the filling.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, sautee the vegetables with the oil for 3 minutes. Mix together the flour, rosemary, fennel, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, push the vegetables to one side, and melt the butter on the other side. When it is melted, stir the flour mixture into the butter, then stir everything together. Add the vegetable stock and keep stirring as a gravy forms. Then remove from heat.
Preheat oven to 425° F.
Divide the crust dough into 4 parts. Roll each section into a thin circle. Get the outline of the circles wet with water or beaten egg. Put ½ cup of filling onto each crust piece, and fold the crust over the filling, pinching together the edges to seal it closed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pasties on without touching each other. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crusts are golden brown.
