1-teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoons flour
1-tablespoon butter
1 double piecrust recipe
¼ teaspoon mace
Reconstitute apples by adding just enough water to cover the apples. More water can be
added if necessary. Soak for about four hours. Over-soaking will produce a loss of flavor.
Sift dry ingredients together and mix with the rehydrated apples. Line pie pan with
pastry. Fill with apple mixture, dot with butter and cover with top crust. Bake in hot oven
(450° F) 15 minutes; reduce temperature to moderate (350° F) and bake 45 minutes
longer. Makes on 9-inch pie.
