After the filling has boiled for 10 minutes, use a large ladle to remove approximately 1 cup of sauce from the mixture and pour it into a cup. Add cornstarch to the cup and stir until all lumps dissolve. Return the cornstarch mixture to the pot; cook and stir until the filling has thickened to your liking.

Bake the bottom crust in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, add the filling, and cover with the top crust, sealing the edges. Decorate with pastry cut-offs if desired, and use a knife to make several small slits in the top to let steam escape. Lightly brush egg yolk over the top crust.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
