Scary Halloween Pies
Who doesn’t love a good pie? Use any of your preferred fillings and cut out scary faces to close these savoury treats and make them real Halloween pies.
As Halloween is the scariest party of the year, and mainly an opportunity to entertain kids, we have filled these pies with a tasty Bolognese sauce with added vegetables and great for those who don’t like pumpkin!
We don’t have a real oven in our tiny kitchen for the moment, but the air fryer was a perfect alternative, and we baked the pies in 30 minutes.
