“Can she make an apple
pie?” our official taster
exclaimed when he came in
out of the cold.
He recognized the spicy
fragrance of die dessert he
was to be offered for dinner.
A fellow should have a
favorite dessert for dinner
after a snack lunch and
expecting a few “planned
overs” to come.
We used N. C. cooking
apples to make our sliced
apple pie and went heavy on
the butter, brown sugar and
cinnamon. But when the
plump, fresh apples are not
so abundant, don’t overlook
canned apple pie filling for a
variation of America’s
number one dessert.
Swedish Apple Pie may
become a year-around
favorite at your house.
Why this delicious apple
dessert is named Swedish
Apple Pie is an untraceable
mystery. Though its in
ternational authenticity
remains unproven, its
goodness is unquestioned.
Perhaps the name comes
from an ingenious Swedish
grandmother who was
simply too busy to roll out
pastry crust and so she
substituted a cake-like
topping to apple slices
baked in a pie dish.
The result defies easy
classification into the usual
categories of apple desserts.

$116,156.10 was recovered by

claimants who had been

THE C^AN
It’s easier to prepare than
a pie with pastry crust; it’s
less “biscuity” than a
cobbler; it’s not crumbly
like a crisp; it’s more
elegant than apple pan
dowdy.
Whatever the origin, this
updated version is a treat.
For wholesome goodness
and nutty flavor, the topping
can be made with whole
wheat flour.
Swedish Apple Pie
1 can (30 oz.) apple pie
filling
1 cup flour (all-purpose or
whole wheat or half of each)
Two-thirds cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
Vt teaspoon salt
Ms cup (1 stick) butter or
margarine
1 egg, slightly beaten
V 4 cup chopped nuts
In mixing bowl, stir
together flour, sugar,
baking powder, and salt.
Blend in softened butter and
egg, stirring to make a thick
batter. Drop batter from
spoon to cover pie filling
which has been spread
smoothly into oiled pan or
pans. Sprinkle with nuts.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45
minutes or until apples are
bubbly and topping is nicely
browned. Serve warm with
a dollop of whipped topping
or ice cream. (Note: This
can make 2 8-inch pies; 1
deep-dish 10-inch pie; or 1
9x9x2-inch dessert. Other
canned pie filling - cherry,
blueberry - can be sub
stituted for apple).
