Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) in his eccentricity often ate just
Mush-Apple Pie and milk for all meals. There were those who worried
about his health and nutritional well-being; however, some folks
today should eat so well! With hardly anything but applesauce in the
crust, the name is understood.

Pare, core, and slice the apples. Place in a 3-quart saucepan and add
water. Cover and cook over low heat 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
until the apples are soft. Add the sugar and continue to simmer 30
minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are
mushy. Cool.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie pan with half of the
rolled-out pastry. Pour in cooled applesauce and cover with the
remaining crust. Cut to make vents in top crust. Moisten edges with
water and press to seal. Bake 20 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees
F. and bake 25 minutes more, until the crust is browned. Serve warm
with whipped cream.
