Apple Pie Dessert

--------------------

​
5 lbs. apples, peeled and sliced

Crust:
3 c. flour    
1 tsp. salt    
4 tsp. sugar
1 c. oil
¼ c. milk

Topping:
¾ c. flour
1 ½ c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ c. butter
 
Mix crust ingredients and press in the bottom
and up the sides a little in a 9 x 13-inch pan.  Remove excess and set aside. 
Fill pan with apples. 
Mix topping ingredients until crumbly and sprinkle over apples.
Crumble remaining crust over topping. 
Bake at 350° for 1 hour.  
Makes a quick apple pie
if you don’t have any pie crusts made.
Squash Pie

--------------------

​
1 c. sugar
¾ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
¾ tsp. ginger
¼ tsp. mace
1 c. steamed squash, strained
3 eggs
1 c. heavy cream or evaporated milk
1 unbaked 10” pie crust
 
Add sugar, salt & spices to squash & mix. 
Beat eggs; add cream and mix with squash.
Pour into unbaked crust & bake at 400 degrees
for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees
and bake for 40 minutes. 
Pie is done when knife inserted
in center comes out clean.

Note:  I use cushaw or pumpkin for this recipe.
Also, I sometimes don't use a pie crust – just put in greased 1 ½ quart casserole dish & bake at 350 degrees about 45-50 minutes.
