Cover and bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until carrots are crisp-tender. , In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar and nutmeg; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over apple mixture. Bake, uncovered, 10-15 minutes longer or until the carrots are tender.

CREAMY PORK AND APPLE CASSEROLE WITH CIDER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170c/325f.
• Add the 2 tbsp of oil to a large casserole pan and heat over a medium-high heat.
• Add the chunks of pork and sprinkle over the 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper. Brown the pork on both sides - this should take about 5-6 minutes altogether.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add in the diced onion and 12 button mushrooms that have been sliced in half. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens.
• Add in the 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for a further minute.
• Sprinkle over the 2 tbsps of flour and stir it all in to coat the meat, onion and mushrooms.
• Pour in the 240ml (1 cup) of cider and the 420ml (1 3/4 cups) of chicken stock. Add in the 1/2 tsp of dried sage.
• Turn up the heat and bring to the boil, scraping up any bits that might have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• Place a lid on the dish and place in the oven for 90 minutes. Check a couple of times towards the end of cooking and add a splash of water or stock if it's starting to look a little dry.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and add in the sliced apples and the 80ml (1/3 cup) of cream.
• Stir together, place the lid back on the dish and place back in the oven for 25 minutes - until the apples are tender.
• Remove from the oven and serve. I like to top mine with a few fresh sage leaves and some very thinly sliced apple for a bit of crunch. I love to serve this dish with mashed potatoes, cabbage and roasted radishes.
