Recipe: Applesauce Cheese Pie (1960 - 70's)

Betsy ! Thank you so much for making the time to aid me in locating a recipe for Applesauce Cheese Pie.

The odds (against) me having the recipe were astronomical; but, as a last resort, I pulled some old 'Ask Your Neighbor'-type cookbooks, published by a radio station in Cleveland, OH. Circa late 1960's or early 1970's. And, low and behold, on Page 36 was the recipe. It is similar to the recipe you posted. I have printed out the recipe you found and am going to mail it to the lady in Oklahoma that was requesting the recipe.

APPLESAUCE CHEESE PIE

1 unbaked (9-inch) pastry shell
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups applesauce
3/4 cup strained creamed cottage cheese
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Beat eggs; add sugar, flour and applesauce, mixing after each addition. Stir in strained cottage cheese and milk. Add lemon juice, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and butter. Pour into shell.

Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes; then reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
