This is a recipe that I've had for years...maybe over 35 years...and never tried it.  Yesterday I decided to give it a try.  Last night when I first tasted it, I thought "well this is interesting."  This morning when I re-tasted it, my taste bud screamed "DELICIOUS"!

So here is the recipe:

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 - 2 tablesoons butter

Prepare pie crust.  Line 9" pie plate with bottom crust.  Heat oven to 375 (F)

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine apples, dates, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, ginger and lemon peel.

Pour into pie crust lined pan.  Sprinkle with lemon juice; dot with butter.  Cover with second crust, venting crust in several places.

Bake at 375 (F) for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve warm.  Makes 8 servings.  (ok, you do not need to serve warm for I've discovered that "cool" and the "next day" is better).

​Enjoy.
