Other pies of different fruit are made in a similar fashion.
All fruit pies are much nicer if served with Devonshire scalded or clotted cream which can be prepared anywhere if the milk be good.
It is the custom in some places where this cream is plentiful to lift the crust off a pie and cover the contents of the dish with a thick layer of cream. This is done not only for apple pie but also for chicken and parsley pie, and sometimes for a beef steak pie.
