President Coolidges Pork Apple Pie 1920
"His mom made this, 10 tiny pieces of salt pork is what it said. She went with Granny Smith (tart) apples and a cast iron skillet, since “deep” is a little vague in 1920's terms. Also, 8 apples took her to the top. Apples were probably smaller back in the early 20th century. I also used cloves because everyone did back then. Some folks added raisins."
