  4. Grease a small casserole, and then evenly layer one-third of the sausage, and top with one-third of the bacon.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the herbs on top, and then cover with a layer of caramelized apples.
  6. Repeat the process twice, using up all the apples, meat, and herbs.
  7. Roll out the pastry to a size big enough to cover the surface of the pie.

  9. Brush with egg.
  10. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the pastry has puffed up and turned golden brown.
