Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Elevated apple pie!

    Beautiful flavor, not overpowering in the slightest, and truly a lovely pie, but it came out quite wet. That's not necessarily the recipe's fault--- apples vary considerable in this regard--- but next time I'd use more flour or a different thickener. Otherwise a keeper!

    What a lovely flavor combination and one I would not have thought of before I saw this recipe. I only added 2 tbls rose water and didn't tell my husband what made this pie smell and taste so good until after he had a piece. The rosewater really meld sin with the apple flavor to create a lovely harmony. Next time I will add the full amount of rosewater. Unless you have fairly sweet apples this recipe yields a not too sweet pie. I used some of our tart Gravensteins and next time will increase each sugar to 1/2 cup to compensate.
