101 Year Old Oregon Trail Swiss Cherry Apple Pie
« on: June 20, 2020, 06:34:42 PM »
Nothing like a warm piece of Pie to round out a good home cooked meal!

Here's one that's been a hit ever since the Pioneers brought it over from Switzerland.
This is the same Recipe shared around many a Campfire out on the Prairie.
Eating each others Dust all day, I'm sure it gave them something to look forward to, on a Trail that never seemed end.  :drool:

  Swiss Apple Cherry Pie

4 large apples
6 Tbsp. butter
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Cherries
Butter, melted
Evaporated milk

Prepare the large cooking apples by slicing them thinly.
Make Double-Crust Pie Pastry. (see recipe below)
Melt butter and brush the bottom of the pastry shell with it.
Lay apple slices on the Pie Shell.
Mix sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Sprinkle some of the dry ingredients over the first layer of apples.
Take fresh or canned cherries and make another layer with them.
Sprinkle with the dry ingredients.
Continue layering and top with the melted butter.
Add top crust and brush with evaporated milk.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 425°F.

For the Crust

 101-year-old Pie Crust Recipe (Passed down from Generation to Generation.)

That looks awesome :tup:

One thing I miss about my grandparents generation, and beyond, is actual home cooking from scratch.
