1850s Mock Apple Pie - Old Cookbook Show

1850s Mock Apple Pie - Old Cookbook Show
Today we take a look at the early days of the Mock Apple Pie Recipe - I suspect that many people assume that the Depression Era Ritz Cracker Mock Apple Pie is where this pie recipe originates. But it actually starts much earlier and undergoes many changes before the depression Cooking Mock Apple Pie surfaces.

1857 Mock Apple Pie Recipe:
Over one and a half cups of bread crumbs pour 4 cups boiling water; add one cup of sugar and one grated nutmeg, small piece of butter, large teaspoonful of tartaric acid; when cool add egg well beaten. bake with two crusts. This is an excellent substitute when apples are scarce.


In June 2023 I'm flying in a 2,086nm fundraiser for Hope Air, an organisation that helps lower income Canadians who live in remote areas access healthcare by providing flights (through private pilots and airlines) to larger urban centres.
