Kind sir,
	I don't know anything about the recipe, though apples are grown
near Quercy (one of many spellings). Quercy's claim to fame is that it is
where Pepin the Short (father of Charlemagne) swore an oath to protect the
Church and the Papacy. The name of Quercy was invoked as a reminder of the
Frankish crown's oath, and several times was used by the Pope to get
Charles' attention.(It's sure helps that my daughter, Lady Rotrude, is of
Frankish stock- and I have Chronicles of such matters!)
