Yip - I just stir through a tablespoon of bisto or gravox powder and it will thicken as the pie cooks.

Arrowroot would work well if you have it.You wouldn't need much.Just mix some with a little of the liquid and stir it through, or use cornflour

I would bring the meat up to the boil, thicken as usual. Put the pot in a sink of cold water and stir the meat to cool it down. Change the water often. If there is a lot of meat spread it out onto a shallow dish to cool that way.

I have previously simply stirred flour into stewed apple so that as it cooked the apple thickend for the pie. That worked well. i see no reason it wouldn't work the same for your pie.

Well it was still a little moist but the ones that eat venison liked it.
