Instructions
- 1 Combine steak and cider in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until steak is tender, about 20 minutes.
- 2 Remove steak to a cutting board; coarsely chop, then return to the pot.
- 3 Stir in apples, currants, raisins, cherry preserves, 1 1⁄3 cups sugar, mixed fruit peel, and butter. Add ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat until mixture is very thick, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir in cherries and remove from heat.
- 4 Transfer filling to a container and allow to cool at room temperature. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 days before using.
- 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie dish with 1 pastry crust.
- 6 Spoon filling into crust and cover with second pastry crust. Crimp edges and cut several slits into top pastry. Brush with cream and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
- 7 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pie should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
