Check out the yt channel of a retired chef, a Yorkshireman, who is very very good at pies - both the pastry and the fillings. He’s called The Backyard Chef. Simple easy instructions for doing comfort food. Also uses an airfryer a lot. His Beef Mushroom and Stout pie is a classic.

I do apple and cinnamon caramel pies for desserts and I make a lot of pies with left over curries or chili and they seem to be the best .

Yum, chicken rogan josh pie with lots of curry gravy inside is the best
