How I remember pin curls! LOL
Anyway, I have made a couple of recipes from this book and we really liked the Apple Pie with cheese crust. Delicious!
For Pastry:2 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 tea. salt
1/2 c. shortening
3/4 c. grated cheddar cheese
1/4 water
Sift together flour and salt. Cut in shortening and cheese until consistency is like coarse crumbs. Add water and mix lightly. Form into a ball. Turn out on floured board and roll 2 crusts each 1/8 inch in thickness. Place one crust in pie pan.
For filling:
3 1/2. cups peeled, sliced, fresh apples
4 tbls. flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 tea. cinnamon
1 tbls. butter
Combine flour and sugar and spread about half of this mixture over crust in pie pal. add the sliced apples. sprinkle remaining flour sugar mixture over them. Sprinkle with cinnamon and add butter in small bits. Moisten edge on bottom crust with water and palce top crust over filling and seal edges by crimping with fork. Bake in preheated electric oven att 400 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
This turned out really well and was very easy to do. The only thing that would have made it any better was if I had some vanilla ice cream to go on top! So today I was very popular and succesful with my family, especially my king, even if I didn't do my hair in pin curls!
Blessings!

I bet there are some wonderful recipes in that cookbook too. I love old timey country home cooking.
What a cute "patter". Those were the days! Really. They were. It looks familiar, but it is probably the style of the graphics they used in those days, which I may have glimpsed through the rails of my baby crib, oh yes. ;) love it. My favorite historical era.

A book from 1953? Neat, before I was born... makes me feel young. Recipes from then were so nice and easy and with simple ingredients. Wonderful gift.
The apple pie looks sooooooooo yummy!!

Those vintage cookbooks are such fun to go through - especially when you find a yummy new recipe *s*
My Grampa used to say "apple pie without some cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze"
He would have loved that pie!
