Pork, apple and stuffing mini pies

Winter has nearly passed but the rain and cold are still desperately digging their claws in. The clocks have gone forward, the sun is shining, you think its safe to leave the scarf and umbrella at home and you get caught out, arriving at work or home with cold wet hair plastered to your face, …
