GET A GREASED LOAF TIN AND ROLL OUT TWO THIRDS OF THE PASTRY AND PLACE IN TIN WITH PASTRY OVERHANGING SIDES SLIGHTLY. TAKE HALF THE PORK MIXTURE AND PRESS DOWN INTO THE PASTRY LINED TIN FIRMLY THEN SPREAD THE APPLE PUREE OVER THAT THEN TAKE THE REMAINING PORK MIXTURE AND COVER THE APPLE UNTIL THE MEAT MIXTURE COMES TO THE TOP OF THE TIN LEVEL WITH THE RIM. ROLL OUT REST OF PASTRY TO MAKE A LID, EGG WASH THE EDGE OF THE PASTRY OVERHANGING THE TIN AND PLACE PASTRY LID OVER THE TOP AND CRIMP FIRMLY TO AVOID LEAKS.
