Pare, core, and slice ripe, tart winter apples—Pippins, Greenings, or
Baldwins—line your dish with a good crust, put in a layer of fruit,
then sprinkle light-brown sugar thickly over it, scatter half a dozen
whole cloves upon this, lay on more apples, and so on, until the dish
is well filled. Cover with crust and bake. Sift powdered sugar over the
top before sending to table.
