CREAMY APPLE PIE.


Sift enough hot apple sauce to make
one pint, add two level tablespoons OF
butter, one-eighth teaspoon of salt, the
whites of three eggs beaten with one cur
of sugar, one-half cup of cream whipped
and three level tablespoons OF fine
powdered cracker crumbs. Flavor to
taste, but to my mind nothing combines
with the apple so well as the juice and
grated rind of a lemon. Bake it In
plate lined and bordered with rich paste
or, if preferred, bake it in individual
patty or tart forms. Cover it with pa
per to prevent browning before the
crust is done. Not piece of paper laio
carelessly over the surface, but paper
hood folded so the edge of the paper
rests on the bottom of the oven, leaving
room above for the pie to rise without
touching the paper.
