Upside-Down Fruit Pie

Rub a quart-sized baking-dish with Snowdrift and fill it with sliced apples, peaches, berries or fresh apricots, mixed with a cupful of sugar to the quart. Add a very little water. Cover and place in a hot oven, 375 degrees F., for twenty minutes. Then put on a crust, cut about one-half inch thick, of the Baking Powder Biscuit mixture, and bake fifteen minutes longer. Cool slightly, invert on a platter, and serve with cream, Lemon, Nutmeg, or Hard Sauce.

If canned or stewed and sweetened fruit is used, the preliminary cooking may be avoided, if the fruit is hot when the crust is put on.
