My review
Bird's Nest Pie
Jeannine Bates
"When we were kids, our favorite dessert at Grandma's house was Bird's Nest Pie. Maybe we were fascinated by the name of the treat, but that can't be the only reason we liked it--there were never any leftovers! This family recipe was handed down from my great-grandmother."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Divide apples evenly between two greased 9-in. pie plates; set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, sour milk and egg; mix well. Divide batter and pour over apples. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until pies are lightly browned and test done. Invert onto serving plates (so apples are on the top). Combine all topping ingredients; sprinkle over apples. Serve warm.
Footnotes
- (*To sour milk, place 1 tablespoon white vinegar in a measuring cup; add enough milk to equal 1 cup. Let stand for 5 minutes.)

Great easy recipe. I added more spices to the dough: 1/4 tsp each of ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and clove. Also 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract. It's a keeper.

I've made this several times, and love it. I'm going to make it this weekend, and I think I'm going to try peaches this time.

This is a pretty good pie/cake, although it could use a few more spices in the dough. I think next time I try it, I'll add some vanilla, or cinnamon.
