Shaker Apple Pie Recipe

• 6 sour apple, pared, cored, and cut into eighths
• 1/2 pint seeded raisins
• 2 pie crusts
• Sugar, cinnamon, or nutmeg to taste
• 1/4 tablespoon butter

1. Place the first crust in the bottom of a pie pan and pour into it the cut apples.
2. Add the seeded raisins and put on the top crust.
3. Cut it to fit the pie pan, but do not let it stick to the lower crust.
4. Bake in a warm oven until the apple is thoroughly cooked and the crust is a nice brown, both top and bottom. This requires about 40 minutes.
5. While it is still hot, take off the top crust and lay it carefully aside. Then, with a wooden knife, stir the apple, removing any hard pieces that may be left.
6. Add seasonings to taste and small pieces of butter.
7. Replace the top crust.
8. Tin plates are best for the baking of these pies.
