baked my first apple pie

in Saskatchewan

experimented
with one cup unbleached all purpose flour
added dry milk, a bit sugar and salt
1/4 to 1/2 spoon yeast
added warm water
mixed the works
let it stand covered with linen cloth

now I went in the garden and looked for good-looking apples
washed them
then cut them in thin sclices, skin and heart and seeds included

now I took above flour mixture and added more flour and an egg
and mixed some more and let stand again for few minutes

then 'poured' the works into a 10' spring baking form
that I had grease with olive oil

then added all the sliced apples on top
sprinkled some sugar, some flour some cinnamon,

put the thing in the toaster aoven at twice 15 minutes at 400
then another 15 minutes at Broil
to 'brown' the apples and the top somewhat

then after these 45 minutes
took the form out
and cut a BIG slice for me to eat
then went in the garden and ate my first Saskatchewan baked pie

It tasted very good is beyond compare

with the same idea I will proceed tomorrow or so
and bake an apple bread on rye flour basis

one can do anything with apples
and especially since I eat the whole apple
nothing gets lost in my system of unprejudiced eating
in favour of flavour and good taste
