rema, I have just checked through my collection and here, from the Countdown circular for the week 08-14/11/10, is the recipe you're wanting.

Filling: Toss the pork in the flour with ½ tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper.Fry in the oil until lightly brown then transfer to a casserole dish. Add the onion, garlic and apple to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, then add the apple juice (or water) and the prunes to the pan, scrape the brownings from the bottom of the pan and tip it all into the casserole dish.Cover the dish. Bake in the oven for 1 hour.After baking, check seasoning and allow to cool, then refrigerate until making the
Pie: 1 sheet each ofsavoury short crust pastryandflaky pastry 4 tbsp milk
Line the bottom of a lightly greased pie dish with the sheet of savoury short crust pastry, then place the cold filling into the casing.Brush the edges with half the milk, then place the flaky pastry on top.Press the pastry lid firmly on to the pastry bottom and trim off any extra.Make a hole in the centre of the lid to let steam escape and brush the top of the pie with the remaining milk.

We made the Countdown one tonight, but as a casserole, not a pie. Delicious even though the only apple juice we had was blackcurrent - probably added a tinge of colour! Left in the oven a bit longer, turned heat down after the 1 hr to 150. All the prunes had risen to the top when I lifted the lid so gave them a bit of a stir. Anyway highly recommended recipe. Posted by other half.
