3 apples

3 eggs

1/4 pound of breadcrumbs

1 lemon

3 ounces sugar

3 ounces of currants

1/2 a wine-glass full of wine

nutmeg, butter and sugar as necessary

Pare, core and mince the apples and mix with the bread crumbs, nutmeg, grated sugar, currants; the juice of the lemon and half the rind grated. Beat the eggs well, moisten the mixture with these and beat all together, adding the wine last; put the pudding in a buttered mold, tie it down with a cloth; boil one hour and a half and serve with sweet sauce.

6 large apples (coslings or any other apples that will be soft)

4 eggs

3/4-pound double-refined sugar

1-2 spoonful of rose water

And lemon-peel.

Take your apples and coddle them; when they are cold take out the pulp; then take the whites of four or five eggs, (leaving out the strains) three quarters of a pound of double-refined sugar beat and sifted, a spoonful or two of rose-water and grate in a little lemon-peel, so beat all

Together for an hour, whilst it be white, then lay it on a china dish, to serve it up.

Stew the apples or peaches and sweeten to taste. Mash smooth and season with nutmeg. Fill the crusts and bake until just done. Put on no top crust. Take the whites of three eggs for each pie and whip to a stiff froth, and sweeten with three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Flavor with rose-water or vanilla; beat until it will stand alone; then spread it on the pie one-half to one inch thick; set it back into the oven until the meringue is well set. Eat cold.

4 medium sized apples

1-1/2 cups sugar

2 cups water

Peel, core and chop apples fine. Cook sugar and water in baking pan over slow fire. While cooking make rich biscuit dough (see strawberry shortcake page 21). Roll out about 1/2 inch thick, spread with apples and roll into a long roll; cut into pieces about 1/2 or 2 inches long; place with cut side down in hot syrup, put small piece of butter on top and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake in hot oven until apples are done and crust golden brown. Turn out on platter; add syrup and serve with plain or whipped cream. Peaches or other fruit may be used in place of apples.
