Takes me back to college. Surprised? Well, even though most of the Commons food at college was forgettable at best, there were two dishes that were good enough to become part of my personal repertorie (I give up, I can't spell that word today). Anyway, one was Chili Fritos (Fritos on the bottom of the casserole, chili on top, bake 'til hot, serve topped with cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes -- sort of taco casserole). The other was an unnamed dish that was basically little link sausages browned, stirred into canned apple pie filling, and heated until bubbling hot. With a wedge salad this is one of my favorite cold weather suppers! You can chop the sausages into nuggets or leave them whole, ditto with the apple pieces. A little cinnamon is nice added in with the sausages. This recipe sounds like an upscale version. I'll have to scale it down for two individual pot pies (there's only two of us) and give it a try!
