Ronco Food Saver manual Spiced Peach Pie, Apple Pie

Spiced Peach Pie

Soak 1 1⁄2 cups dried peaches in the refrigerator overnight. Then stew until soft (about 45 minutes). Chop peaches. Add a mixture of:

1 1⁄2 tablespoon cinnamon	2 tablespoons flour
1⁄2 cup white or brown sugar	4 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons water	1⁄8 teaspoon salt

Add mixture to peaches and stir lightly. Pour into unbaked pie crust, cover with top crust. Bake 35 to 45 minutes until golden brown at 350 degrees.

Apple Pie

2 cups dried apples	1 tablespoon butter
1 cup sugar brown or white	1 teaspoon cinnamon
1⁄4 teaspoon salt	1⁄4 teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoons flour	1 tablespoon butter
1 double pie crust recipe	1⁄4 teaspoon mace

Reconstitute apples by adding just enough water to cover the apples. More water can be added if necessary. Soak for about four hours. Over-soaking will produce a loss of flavor.

Sift dry ingredients together and mix with the rehydrated apples. Line pie pan with pastry. Fill with apple mixture, dot with butter and cover with top crust. Bake in hot oven (450 F) 15 minutes; reduce temperature to moderate (350 F) and bake 45 minutes longer. Makes one 9-inch pie.
