This is one of the most unusual recipes, a kind of apple and nut coffee cake wrapped up in pastry and served as a pie. I came across the recipe in an old cookbook, “Mrs. Rowe’s Little Book of Pies,” which I’ve cited here before (see February 4, 2015 post). As I was making it I had my doubts. The filling was very dense, even hard to mix, and then adding a glaze of brown sugar, butter and milk onto the finished baked pie seemed like pure overkill.
