->Elderberry 01 <-

tart apples, peeled and sliced, to form a mound in a pie pan

1/2 to 1 cup elderberries, pulled from their stems, washed and drained

1/2 to 1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp allspice

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp crumbled, dried basil

butter

unbaked pie crust

1/2 c flour

1/2 c sugar

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp allspice

Cut up apples to fill pie pan; to assure plenty of fruit, slice

enough to mound the pan high. Dump them into a bowl and line your

pie pan with crust. Do *not* prick the crust, or your juices will

leak between the crust and the pan and your pie will be stuck in

the pan.

Add elderberries, sugar, flour, and spices, and stir gently until

the apple pieces are lightly coated with flour. Return to pie pan.

Dot with butter. Top with Crumb Topping.

Crumb Topping: Mix everything together until crumbly. Distribute

over the top of the pie.

375 F for 45 minutes or until apples are done and pie is

bubbly around the edges. Crust should be golden but not too brown.

Cap with foil towards the end of cooking time if crust is getting

too brown.
