Instructions
Step 1
- Add all the "filling" ingredients into the slow cooker (except the flour)
- Stir until everything is combined.
- Cook on low for 8 hours/high 4 hours
- If the consistency is too runny, do the optional method -
- - 2 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot (tapioca flour) powder (combine/mix in 3/4 cup water)
- Either 30min prior to finishing or put back on HIGH for about 10-15min so it can simmer and thicken (or if you have a simmer option on your cooker use that)
Step 2 – (to be completed just before the pie filing is cooked)
- **you can also find a “slow cooker” option for mash or complete via stove top
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C/350 F. Meanwhile, Peel and cut potatoes into medium pieces and cook in a large saucepan of boiling water on stove until tender
- Drain and add milk and butter and mash to a smooth mashed consistency
Step 3
- Add pie filling into an oven proof baking dish
- Spoon the mash potato on top
- Optional – add cheese (dairy or vegan on top)
- Bake for 40-45min - serve
- Serve with steam green veggies or baked cauliflower
Notes
- Inspired by a recipe from www.earthofmaria.com
- **Please note, the oven dish I used is my smaller one, I had plenty of filling left over to freeze.
