EVER POPULAR APPLE PIE
Much Care Required TO Make = Per-
foot Production OF This Dessert
So Much In Demand.

Apple pie is one OF the most ponu-
lar Of desserts. One of the greatest
errors OF which the amateur pie maker
Is apt to be guilty Is that OF using
too plain a crust. More than any
other does the apple pie demand h
tenderest, fakiest crust that 1t is pos
sible to fabricate.
Use tart apples, put the pie in .
very hot oyen, on the lower shelf. and.
as 1t cooks on the bottom. lift 1t to
the top sheH to brown.
Some of the f1avorings and varta-
lions that have been tried are the .
of grated nutmeg or cinnamon and OF
the grated rind of a lemon and three
whole cloves to the filing; the grating
Of cheese over the crust: the add
ton of one or two %spoonfuls OF other
fruit, such as preserved grapes.
cooked cranberries, dates. raisins or
ounce jelly.
A man told Of q wonderful apple pie
which had thin bacon. dried very crisp
and brown. spread over the fruit b.
fore the top crust went on. He said
It tasted surprisingly good.
The following is a unique form OF
apple pie. which tastes and looks
much like 4 pumpkin pie: Crate some
rather sweet apples. and for every
three apples use \ cupful OF sugar,
two eggs. = teaspoonful OF powdered
ginger. a scant teaspoonful Of mace.
also powdered. and half . teaspoonfSl
Of grated nutmeg. Beat the grated
apples with the sugar and spices. then
stir In the eggs. Bake with an under
