One of my favorites!

This is a great recipe, I've made it a dozen times in the past year or so. I've tweaked it here and there, and I tend to drizzle with calvados (norman apple brandy) instead of wine. A dose of brown sugar added pleases the wife, who has a bit of a sweet tooth. The bacon, pork, sage, and apples blend really nicely. I usually cheat and get pre-made rolled pastry for it...one less step, and I'm not good at pastry anyway.

Regardless, highly recommended!
