Dr. Lyman Abbott’s favorite dish is a Deep Apple Pie, which is made
like the deep fruit tarts so plentiful in England.
Here is a thoroughly satisfactory way to make Dr. Abbott’s specialty:
Line a deep pie tin with a rich crust, fill with tart, juicy apples
sliced very thin. Sprinkle sugar and a little cinnamon over them.
Scatter bits of butter over the apples, about a tablespoonful in
all. Also sprinkle with a tablespoonful of water. Use four or five
tablespoonsful of sugar. Cover with top crust and bake slowly for a
half, or perhaps three-quarters of an hour.
For the real _deep dish_ pie put the apples, sugar and butter (above
proportions) in the individual deep dish and cover with top crust. Bake
the same. The spices may be varied to taste.
