An Apple Pie That Lasts for Days

[elleng]

'Gone so soon?

That’s the question I always ask in the aftermath of a pie.

Having nurtured a pie through all those steps — the mixing and the chilling and the rolling and the filling — I expect the relationship to last longer than one meal. It rarely does.

But since it is unbecoming to hide alone with your pie, or to glare at loved ones when they ask for seconds, here is a solution: make a bigger pie.

Nine-inch pie pans were standard back when many American households went through a pie or more a day. Pie was a staple for many farm families in all seasons, made with fresh or dried fruit, pecans or hickory nuts, sometimes crackers or condensed milk in lean times.'>>>

1. "sometimes crackers or condensed milk in lean times"

I recall seeing a recipe for mock apple pie on a cracker box.

A quick search finds http://www.kraftcanada.com/recipes/ritz-mock-apple-pie-83403
which is not exactly what I remembered, but close.

We had some very lean times when I was small, but I don't remember having this pie. I do remember Mom making turnovers from pie crust (lard and flour) with just a dab of whatever was on hand inside. A teaspoon of preserves or brown sugar was often the filling. We weren't all that excited when she made them, but we sure did eat them.
