If you are like me and jumped on pie maker recipes with a Kmart Pie Maker craze, then you will love this recipe. This a snack or lunch version of my Nan’s traditional spinach and ricotta pie. This is a great meat free alternative to filling the pie maker. It’s a great family friendly recipe to try if you are sick of filling the pie maker with left over casserole.
This recipe had enough filling for around 8-10 pies, depending on how much you fill them. I like mine to be quite full so got just the 8 out of these measurements. The allspice was used instead of nutmeg in my recipe and it adds a flavour similar to a combination of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
