One quart of stewed apples, one pint of cream, sugar to taste, four eggs, nutmeg. Put the apples through the sieve when done, add the cream and beaten eggs, season to taste. Bake with one crust. When done, frost the top. Peach pies are even more delicious made in this manner.
Pare, core and slice ripe, tart, winter apples; line your dish with a good crust, put in a layer of fruit, and sprinkle light brown sugar over it, grate on a little cinnamon or nutmeg, lay on more apples till the dish is full; cover with a puff paste, and bake. Sift powdered sugar over the top before sending to the table.
Make a good crust, and line your pie-dish nicely with it, pare and quarter some nice, tart apples, lay them in rows in the pie-dish, and sprinkle sugar over them to your taste, - you must make them pretty sweet - season with a few bits of butter for each pie, and nutmeg or cinnamon to taste; bake, without upper crust, till done. Eat warm.
