one-half teaspoonful of grated nutmeg. Line a pie tin with pie crust, see page 185, wet the edges of the crust with a little cold water, pare, core and slice the apples and arrange these in the tin. When this is done sprinkle over the apples the sugar and nutmeg and pour in the cold water ; then cut a covering of the crust of the proper size, having rolled it to the thickness of one-third of an inch, cover the pie with this, pressing it firmly together with the lining crust at the edges, and cutting two or three slits in the top with a knife to permit the steam to escape while the pie is baking. This pie should be baked in a quick oven from twenty minutes to half an hour, according to the length of time the apples may require to be exposed to the heat before becoming soft.
