2 tbsp margarine or butter
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup ice water
8 cup peeled, sliced apples - (about 8 me, dium apples)
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Combine 2 cups flour, corn meal and salt. Cut in 1/3 cup margarine
and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese.
Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring lightly until mixture
forms a ball. Divide dough into 2 parts, 1 slightly larger; shape
each to form ball. Wrap securely in plastic wrap or wax paper; chill
about 30 minutes. Roll large ball on lightly floured surface to form
11-inch circle. Fit loosely into 9-inch pie plate; trim. Roll
remaining dough to form 12-inch square. Cut into 12 x 3/4-inch
strips.*
Heat oven to 400 F. Combine remaining 1/3 cup flour, apples, sugar
and cinnamon; spoon into crust. Dot with remaining 2 tablespoons
margarine. Weave strips atop filling to make a lattice crust. Trim
even with outer rim of pie plate. Fold lower crust over strips; seal
and flute. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is light golden
brown, shielding edges with aluminum foil if necessary. Cool
slightly.
*NOTE: To make a double crust pie, roll remaining dough to form
10-inch circle instead of cutting strips. Prepare filling as
directed. Place top crust over filling; trim. Turn edges under;
flute. Cut slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, in truth as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, early records were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, we have two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an eruption in publications on food, some of which are now in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
