Spiced Pork Potpie

Spiced Pork Potpie
Chock-full of cranberries, apple, sweet potatoes, cinnamon and cloves, this scrumptious meat pie smells just like autumn as it bakes! The original recipe called for a pastry crust, but I prefer the fuss-free batter crust on top. —Kay Krause Sioux Falls, South Dakota
