This crust is made the little old pie-making lady way. Butter and lard rubbed into flour. The flour is sweetened and seasoned with the things that I like.
The crust was pre-baked 1/2 way.
There is a layer of ricotta seasoned with more of my favorite things and acidified with half a lime.
The topping is superfluous. It is a topping prepared earlier for macaroni and cheese. I used it because it has butter and I didn't object to the oats. The pie would be as good without it. I think.
Two granny apples, cinnamon, ginger, mace.
Do you know what mace is? It's a red layer that coats a nutmeg. You know how a nutmeg resembles a piece of wood in the shape of a football? Mace is like a red glue drizzled over the nut drawn in pathways with spaces. Then there is another shell surrounding that like an egg shell. The mace is like a shock absorbing layer between them. Then there is yet another layer of shell a softer outer shell that is thicker and more massive than all the other parts. Mace tastes very similar to nutmeg. It is very easy to overuse. Good for all kind of dessert type things.
