There was an apple tree by the chicken house behind mama's house. She'd bolt out, pick up a few apples, bolt back inside and bake this pie. Mama tried to make use of the apples before the deer consumed them.

1 pie shell (later years she bought it)

2 cups grated apples

1 cup sugar

1 beaten egg

1/2 stick butter

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir until mixed well. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes.
