1 recipe Calumet Pie Crust (page 30)
4 to 6 apples, thinly sliced
1 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon butter
Line sides only of deep baking dish with a strip of pastry rolled ¼ inch
thick, adjusting it so that pastry comes within ½ inch of bottom and
extends over rim of dish as for pie. Fill with apples. Combine sugar,
cinnamon, and nutmeg, and sprinkle over apples. Add water and dot with
butter. Roll remaining pastry ¼ inch thick; cut several slits to allow
escape of steam, and place over filled dish. Press edges together. Bake
in hot oven (450°F.) 15 minutes; then decrease heat to moderate (350°F.)
and bake 45 minutes longer, or until apples are tender. Serves 8.
