"YOUR AUNTIE RIVKA IS TOO LAZY TO BAKE A CRUST" APPLE PIE
All you need for this pie is a pie plate, a fork to combine ingredients and a knife to cut the apples. You DO NOT peel or core the apples. Simply wash them!
Preheat the oven to 350F.
5-6 apples, whatever type you prefer tart or sweet
1 tbsp sugar AND 1 tbsp cinnamon combined together.
Cut the apples into slices and place in a pie plate. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top of the apples. OK you can core the apples if you insist!
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup melted parve margarine (or use butter if you want Milcheg)
Combine the above ingredients together until they are will mixed and pour over the apples.
Bake the "pie" at 350F for 35-40 minutes. The crust will form as the pie is baked!
Auntie Rivka's "Scalped" Potatoes (Milchig)
6 peeled and thinly sliced potatoes
2 thickly sliced onions
2 cups milk (skim for those of you on a diet)
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1/8 cup dried dill for a lovely flavour
1/4 tsp. pepper (to annoy Uncle Leibel)
1/8 tsp. dry mustard
Grease a covered baking dish. Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix the flour into the COLD milk and stir until the flour has been dissolved.
Add the salt, pepper, mustard and dill.
Slice half the potatoes and the onion and place in layers in the greased casserole dish.
AUNTIE RIVKA POTATO HINT:
In order for the potatoes not to turn black after you have peeled them, place them in cold water while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
Bring the milk mixture to a rapid boil on the stove stirring CONSTANTLY to prevent burning! Reduce heat to a simmer until the mixture thickens.
Pour HALF the mixture over the potato and onions.
Place the remaining potatoes and onion in the casserole. Pour the remaining thickened liquid over the potatoes and onion.
COVER.
Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes until the potatoes are done. For an added touch, uncover for the last few minutes of cooking to form a golden brown crust.
Slices of processed cheese can be added on top and the casserole returned to the oven for a period of 2 to 3 minutes simply to melt the cheese!

5 lb. flour (Kolbo’s is best)
3/4 cup oil warmed in microwave till warm
