QUEEN'S APPLE AND ONION PIE

3 breakfastcupfuls of Allinson breadcrumbs
3 eggs
1-1/2 lbs. of apples
2 lbs. of Spanish onions
2 oz. of butter
1/2 teaspoonful of spice
pepper and salt to taste
a little hot milk

cut into slices the onions and apples, stew them gently (without adding-water) with 1 oz. of the butter, the spice and seasoning until quite tender. Mix the breadcrumbs with the eggs, well beaten, and enough hot milk to smooth the breadcrumbs; butter a pie-dish with 1/2 oz. of butter, place a layer of breadcrumbs in your dish, a layer of apple and onion, repeat this until your dish is full, finishing with breadcrumbs. Place the rest of the butter on the top in little bits, and bake the pie for 1 hour. Serve with brown gravy.
