Baked Apples. Time—½ hour.
1 lb. apples, 2 oz. brown sugar, ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoonful cold
water, rind and juice of a lemon.
Wash the apples (if an apple corer be handy core them), notch them
across the top, place them in a Yorkshire pudding tin, with the sugar,
lemon-rind, lemon-juice, water, and cinnamon. Bake till tender; serve
hot or cold. For _Apple Snow_, pass through a sieve and beat in lightly
whites of 2 eggs and 3 oz. castor sugar, then pile roughly on a dish,
and decorate to taste.
Baked Apple Dumplings. Time—1 hour.
½ lb. flour, 4 oz. dripping, ½ teaspoonful baking-powder, 4 apples,
cloves or lemon-rind, 2 oz. brown sugar.
Peel and core the apples, and fill the centre of each with moist sugar
and 2 cloves or 2 pieces lemon-rind. Rub the dripping into the flour,
add the baking-powder and enough cold water to form a stiff paste,
divide it into four, and roll each piece out. Place an apple in the
centre of each piece of paste, and work it well round the apple. Grease
a tin, place the dumplings on it, and bake about ¼ hour.
Apple Fritters. Time—2¾ hours.
3 large apples (½ wineglassful brandy, if liked), 2 oz. powdered loaf
sugar. _Batter_—4 tablespoonfuls flour, 1 tablespoonful salad oil, a
pinch of salt, tepid water, white of 1 egg.
Peel and core 3 large apples, cut them into slices half an inch thick,
put them in a dish with the sugar and brandy, cover with another dish,
and leave them 2 hours.
_Batter._—In a separate basin mix the flour with the oil, salt, and
sufficient tepid water to make a batter the thickness of cream, avoiding
lumps. Cover the basin, and let the batter stand 2 hours. Then add the
well-beaten white of egg to the batter, dry the slices of apple on a
cloth, dip each piece in the batter, so that it is quite covered, and
fry in hot fat or oil. Serve with powdered sugar.
Apples in Custard. Time—¾ hour.
1 lb. apples, 1 oz. brown sugar, 4 eggs, 1 gill water, 1 oz. ground
almonds.
Beat the eggs well, add the water, sugar and almonds. Peel the apples,
core them, place them in a pie-dish which has been thoroughly greased
and sugared, pour the custard over them, and bake about ½ hour.
Apple Jelly. Time—3 hours.
1 lb. apples, 1 lb. brown sugar, 1 gill water, juice and peel of 1
lemon.
Peel and core the apples, put them into a stew-pan with the sugar,
water, juice of the lemon, and the peel chopped fine. Boil over a slow
fire, stirring occasionally, until quite stiff and of a deep brown
colour. Dip a small mould into cold water, put the jelly in, and let it
set. Turn out when cold.
Bread Pudding. Time—1¾ hour.
