Queens Apple and Onion Pie

3 breakfastcupfuls of Allinson breadcrumbs

3 eggs

1½ lbs. of apples

2 lbs. of Spanish onions

2 oz. of butter

½ teaspoonful of spice

Pepper and salt to taste

A little hot milk

Directions

Cut the onions and apples into slices and stew them gently (without adding-water) with 1 oz. of the butter, the spice and seasoning until quite tender.

Mix the breadcrumbs with the well beaten eggs and enough hot milk to smooth the breadcrumbs.

Butter a pie-dish with ½ oz. of butter, place a layer of breadcrumbs in your dish and then a layer of apple and onion.

Repeat this until your dish is full, finishing with breadcrumbs.

Place the rest of the butter on the top in little bits, and bake the pie for 1 hour at 350f/180c/Gas 4. Serve with brown gravy.
