Old-Fashioned Homemade Pies

Man's Apple Pie

Plain Pie Crust: 1-1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup shortening, 1/4 cup ice water. Method: Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in shortening and lastly add the ice water, a little at a time, until all ingredients cling together.

Filling: 6 apples, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon mace, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese. Method: Wash apples and cut fine. Sift sugar, spice, and salt, and mix thoroughly with the apples. Turn into pie pan lined with pastry. Spread over with grated cheese. Put on top crust, pushing it towards the center and pressing off edges.

Bake in hot oven (450°F) for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F and continue baking about 40 minutes. Absolutely delicious!
