Servings: Makes 2 8-inch pies, 6 slices per pie |
Comments: I sent this recipe to a lady requesting it through the Taste of Home magazine. It is an old, old recipe, dating back to 1865. |
Ingredients: ![]() 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup cold water 2 large egg yolks 1/2 cup Unsweetened Apple Butter (known as boiled cider) 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 2 8" Pre-baked Pie Shells |
Instructions: 1. Mix the flour and cold water and beat until completely smooth, free of lumps. 2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks; then add the apple butter, sugar, flour-water mixture and spices. 3. Put the batter in a double boiler and whisk until it thickens and begins to set. 4. Pour it into the 2 pre-baked pie shells. Carefully brown the tops under the broiler. (The old method was to use a heated salamander.) If you are worried about scorching the crust, instead of using the broiler, set the pies in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F (180 C), allowing 5 to 8 minutes for them to brown. Makes 2 8-inch pies, 6 slices per pie. Note: The un-used egg whites may be used to make a meringue to top the pies if desired. |

This pie is wonderful! The flavor gets better over time!! I did have to double the filling recipe to fill 2 8 inch pie shells, though. It was truly tasty!
