German Fruit Pie
- 1 heaping tsp baking powder
- 1 pint flour
- Piece of butter as large as a walnut
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- Milk
- Apples, quartered
- Cinnamon
- Molasses
- Sugar
Sift together the baking powder and flour. Add the butter, salt, beaten egg and enough sweet milk to make a soft dough. Roll it out half an inch thick. Butter a square biscuit tin and cover the bottom and sides with the dough. Fill the pan with quartered juicy apples. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and molasses. Bake in a rather quick oven at 375 degrees F until the crust and apples are cooked a light brown. Sprinkle a little sugar over the top 5 minutes before removing from the oven.
Ripe peaches are good also used in the same manner.
