  Three-quarters cup of sugar,
  Three-quarters cup of milk,
  Yolks of two eggs,
  One whole egg,
  One-quarter teaspoon of cinnamon.

Beat to thoroughly mix and just before pouring the custard over the peaches dust them well with sifted flour.  Pour on the custard and bake in a slow oven until firm.  Use whites of eggs for meringue.

Raspberries and plums may be used in place of the peaches for variety.  When making these pies, always use the regulation custard pie tin, the ones with the straight sides.

CIDER JELLY PIE

Place in a saucepan

  Three-quarters cup of brown sugar,
  Two cups of cider,
  Eight tablespoons of cornstarch.

Dissolve the starch and then bring to a boil.  Cook for three minutes and then remove from the fire and add

  One-half teaspoon of cinnamon,
  One tablespoon of vinegar.

Beat to mix and then cool and bake between two crusts.

APPLE DOWDY

Grease well with shortening a deep pudding pan and then place a layer one inch thick of thinly sliced apples and then sprinkle well with sugar and dust with cinnamon.  Repeat this until the dish is full and then cover with a crust of plain pastry.  Bake for forty-five minutes in a moderate oven and let cool.

To serve:  Loosen the pastry from the sides of the pan, place a large platter over the pie and invert.  Cut into wedge-shaped portions and serve with cream, custard or fruit sauce.

COUNTRY STYLE GREEN APPLE PIE

Pare the apples and then cut into thin slices.  Now place a layer of apples in a pudding pan and sprinkle each layer with

  Two tablespoons of flour,
  Six tablespoons of brown sugar,
  One-quarter teaspoon of cinnamon.

Repeat this until the pan is full.  Now place a crust on top and bake in slow oven for forty minutes.  To serve:  Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the crust.  Invert the plate over the pie and turn the pie upside down upon the plate.  Cover with fruit, whip and cut into wedge-shaped pieces and serve with custard sauce.

CONGRESS PIE

Use an oblong pan similar to that used in making cheesecake.  Line with plain pastry and then place three cups of bread crumbs in a bowl and add

  Two cups of boiling water,
  One-half cup of syrup,
  One cup of brown sugar,
  Four tablespoons of shortening,
  One teaspoon of cinnamon,
  One-half teaspoon of nutmeg,
  One-half teaspoon of cloves,
  One cup of finely chopped nuts,
  One cup of raisins or currants,
  One cup of marmalade or fruit butter.

Beat to thoroughly mix and then pour into the prepared pan and bake in a slow oven for one-half hour.  Cool and then ice with water icing.  Cut into two-inch oblongs.
