Apple Pie

In The Legend of Luke, Dulam describes his mother's apple pie, "Sweet apples, golden crust, steamin' hot, dusted with spices an' warm arrowroot sauce poured over 'em."  Elsewhere in the series, apple pie is served with meadowcream or with fresh cream poured over it.

1 double batch of pie crust
1 Tbls. arrowroot powder
6 cups apples, chopped
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 cup honey
1 egg, beaten
ground ginger

Ground cloves

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Stir together the apples, arrowroot, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Make sure the dough is chilled thoroughly. Divide in half and roll out each half on separate pieces of waxed paper, using flour as needed to keep them from sticking. roll to about 1/8" thick. Place one sheet of dough in a pie tin, fitting it inside and trimming the edges. Fill with the apples. Place the other sheet of dough over the top, trimming the edges and crimping the top and bottom together along the edge. Brush the beaten egg on the top crust and sprinkle with ground ginger and ground cloves. Cut slashes into the top crust.

Bake for 40-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
