The directions for making apple pie in most early cookbooks were simple: toss the apples with sugar and bake them in pastry.  The authors assumed cooks knew what to do.

Apple Cider Pie

¾ cup apple cider or apple juice
½ cup chopped pitted dates or raisins
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 store bought or home-made pie crust
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
5 cups thinly sliced, peeled, tart cooking apples

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  In a small saucepan, stir together the apple cider, dates,

cornstarch, ginger, and lemon rind.  Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring constantly. 

Cook for 2 minutes or until mixture is thickened, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.
Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 of the piecrust.  Trim crusts even with edge of pie plate. 

In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and flour. Add the apples; toss until apples are

coated.  Spoon the apple mixture into crusts.  Spoon the cider mixture over apple mixture.
Cut slits in the remaining piecrust; place on top of cider mixture. Trim top crust to ½ inch

beyond the edge of pie plate.  Fold top crust under bottom crust and crimp edge.  

Psst... Want a tip on crimping the crust? Sprinkle with a little additional sugar. 

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden. 

(If the edge of the crust seems to be browning too quickly, cover with foil.) 

Cool on a wire wrack for 2 hours before serving. Makes 8 servings.
Prep Time: 30 minutes,  Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Did you know that the old fashioned, deep-dish pies were baked in a casserole with just one crust on top? To catch any juice that bubbles over put the casserole in the oven on a baking sheet.

¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lime juice
4 cups fresh or frozen pitted tart red cherries
1 store bought or homemade pie crust
Low-fat (1% milkfat) milk

and lemon rind. Add the cherries; toss until cherries are coated. (If using frozen cherries,

let the mixture stand for 15 to 30 minutes or until cherries are partially thawed but still icy,

stirring occasionally.) Pour the cherry mixture into a 1-½ quart casserole. Place crust on top

of the cherry mixture. Trim crust to 1 inch beyond the edge. Cut slits in the crusts. Brush with
