Today’s 224-year-old recipe is a meat pie with apples, raisins

, cider, and spices. Mix all of these things, and you will be rewarded with something not so tasty.

I hypothesize that early citizens of the United States would hide spoiled rotten flavored meat with sweet flavors of apple, raisins, alcohol, and spice.

The crust could cook longer, but I didn’t want to burn my house down over this dish. I feel like this recipe is a two out of five for me.
