Apple Tart, Economical

Take three-quarters of a pound of flour: mix with it a tea-spoonful of baking powder, and a little salt; rub well in six ounces of clarified beef dripping, and make it into a paste with cold water. Roll it out two or three times. Line the edge of a pie-dish with a little paste about a quarter of an inch thick. Wet it all round to make the cover adhere. Pare, core, and quarter a dozen apples. Put them into the dish with a little moist sugar, a couple of cloves, and a table-spoonful of water. Cover it over with paste. Trim it nicely round the edges. Make a hole in the middle for the steam to escape, and bake in a good oven. Time to bake, one hour. Sufficient for six persons. Probable cost, 10d.
