Old English Apple Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 large bramley's seedling apples
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons Applejack (apple brandy)
1 pie crust, refrigerated

Preparation

Gently boil the apples (it's not necessary to pare, core or slice them) in water in a covered saucepan until the fruit is very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the apples, return to pot. Using a potato masher, mash the apples. Force the mashed fruit through a strainer with the back of a spoon.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Flavor the mashed fruit with the sugar, cinnamon and ginger. Mix in the butter, eggs and applejack. Line a 9-inch glass pie pan with crust. Pour in the mixture and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
