All recipes use a 12-inch dutch oven, unless specified.
If you have a 10-inch dutch oven, use about 2/3 to 3/4 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If you have an 8-inch dutch oven, use about 1/2 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If no temperature is listed, use 350 degrees.

A warm hello from the UK
I am struggling to find a pie recipe baked in a dutch oven.
In this recipe you mentioned a pie tin ??
Is it possible to place the pastry and the filling with a pastry lid actually inside the dutch oven?
Thankyou
Kim

@Kim - You don't need to use a pie tin, but it just makes this recipe easier to handle. Using a pre-made pie crust will most likely not be big enough to cover the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch or larger dutch oven. If you make your own pie crust, then you can make it any size you want.
