This is a vintage recipe from the 17th century for making apple pasties. It's from an English book called "A True Gentlewomans Delight, 1653." It's interesting to try to figure out what some of the words mean, and the misspellings make for an interesting read. Do you love vintage recipes? Do you collect recipe books as I do? What is your oldest recipe? I'd love to hear about it!
To fry Applepies:
Take Apples and pare them, and chop them very small, beat in a little Cinnamon, a little Ginger, and some Sugar, a little Rosewater, take your paste, roul it thin, and make them up as big Pasties as you please, to hold a spoonful or a little lesse of your Apples; and so stir them with Butter not to hastily least they be burned.
