Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan.

Step 2

Bring a medium sized saucepan of water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook for 15-20mins or until tender.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a medium sized frying pan, over high heat. Add the sausages and cook for 5mins or until golden brown all over.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced apple and cook for 3-5mins or until just starting to caramelise.

Step 5

Add the leeks, and garlic and stir for 30-60secs until coated in the pan.

Step 6

Add the marmite, Worcestershire sauce, stock, thyme, and black pepper. There is no need to add salt because of the marmite. Cook with a lid on for 15mins.

Step 7

While the sausages are continuing to cook, drain the potatoes, add them back into the saucepan. Add the milk, 45g of cheese and season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 8

After 15mins, turn off the heat. Cut the sausages in the frying pan if you want a quick option, otherwise take them out of the pan, slice them on a chopping board, and add back to the frying pan.

Step 9

Add the sausage mixture to a 1.1L (16cm / 25cm) baking dish. Cover with the mash potato and then sprinkle with the remaining 35g of cheese. Bake at 200°C for 25mins or until golden.

Step 10

Prepare vegetables while the pie is baking. Heat 1-2 tbsp of butter in a large non stick frying pan or saucepan, over medium heat. Add the vegetables and cook for 5-8mins, or until your desired texture is reached.
