Apple Pie Recipe 5

Line pie plate with crust .

Pare, core, and cut the apples into eighths.

Place apples in rows around plate one-half inch from edge, and work towards center until plate is covered. Then pile on remainder.

Mix sugar, nutmeg, salt, lemon juice, and grated rind, and sprinkle over apples.

Dot over with butter.

Wet edges of bottom crust, cover with upper crust, and press edges together.

Bake forty to forty-five minutes in moderate oven.

A very good pie may be made without butter, lemon juice, and grated rind.

Cinnamon may be substituted for nutmeg.

Evaporated apples may be used in place of fresh fruit; if used, they should be soaked over night in cold water. .
