The Pie of Armande

This recipe is from Francine and Lucie sisters from Quebec. The pie is amazing. Francine is my sweet neighbor and friend. The addition of apples adds a unique and delicious mystery.

2 lbs ground beef
2lbs ground pork
2lbs ground veal
3 medium onions
3 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 tbsp salt
1 1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground allspice
5 potatoes (approximately)
pie crusts

Roast onions and garlic in butter. Add the meat, stirring often. When everything is browned add the spices. Cook for 30 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Cook the potatoes and add to the meat. Pour into pie crusts, cover everything with another pie crust. Bake 15 minutes at 425F.
Makes about 4 meat pies.

Optional additions:
Add 5 grated apples when cooking meat. (Lucie)
Glaze with a beaten egg before putting in the oven. (Francine)
