Apple Pie. — Line a greased pie plate with crust. Pare and core four or five apples and cut them in very thin slices. Place them on the pie plate about one fourth inch from edge, till the center slightly rounds. Sprinkle one 126 CEREALS AND LEAVENING AGENTS third cup of sugar over the apples, and nutmeg or cinnamon to taste. Roll out the upper crust, and cut small gashes in it so as to allow the steam to escape. Press the two crusts together with a fork or pastry jagger. Place the pie in a hot oven for five or ten minutes so that the crust will set, then reduce the heat and bake in a moderate oven thirty-five to forty minutes. The baking is done in a moderate oven so that the heat will reach the apples. Lemon Pie. — Line a plate with crust and have it extend one half inch above the edge so as to hold the filling in place. Pierce the bottom of the crust with a fork, place the crust in the oven, and bake until slightly brown. Piercing the crust with a fork prevents it from warping in the oven. Filling. — Mix three tablespoons of cornstarch and one cup of sugar. Add one cup of boiling water; mix well and boil five minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the fire; add one tablespoon of butter, the juice of one lemon, and yolks of two eggs beaten and blended with a tablespoon of the cooked cornstarch mixture. Place the filling in the crust, return to the oven, and bake until the filling boils or bubbles. Beat the whites of two eggs stiff and dry; add four tablespoons of sugar and a few drops of lemon Juice. Spread over the pie and bake until the egg is slightly brown. | | Pumpkin Pie. — Line a plate with crust and have it extend one half inch above the edge of the plate. Mix one cup of pumpkin, one and one fourth cups of milk, one third cup of sugar
