Apple Pot Pie

Ingredients

• 14 Apples (Peeled, cored, and sliced.)
• 1 1/2 pints All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoonful Baking powder
• 1 cupful Granulated sugar
• 1/2 cupful Butter
• 1 cupful Milk
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 1/2 cupfuls Water

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and mix until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
2. 2Line a shallow stewpan (or a similar pan) with the dough, leaving about two inches of the bottom uncovered. Pour in the water, then add the sliced apples and sugar. Wet the edges of the dough and cover with the remaining dough. Place a lid on the stewpan.
3. 3Set the stewpan to boil for 20 minutes. Then, place in a moderate oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) until the apples are cooked, approximately 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
4. 4Cut the top crust into four equal parts. Dish the apples, lay pieces of the side crust cut into diamond shapes on top, and arrange pieces of the top crust on a plate. Serve with cream, if desired.
