Squab Pie

This is a favourite popular dish in the West of England. It is generally made of mutton, though in the Midland counties beef and fat bacon are sometimes used. Take a deep dish, and fill it with layers of mutton chops, apples cut as for other pies, and finely-shredded onions. Season the layers with pepper and salt, and sweeten the apples with sugar. Cover the pie with a thick crust, and bake in a well-heated oven. Time to bake, two to three hours, according to size.
