Put a pint of apple sauce, made of tart cooking apples, slightly
sweetened, into a pudding dish. Beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff
froth and stir into it a cup and a quarter of sugar, flavor with a very
little extract of lemon--a few drops only--and spread over the apple
sauce, and bake twenty or twenty-five minutes. Make a custard of the
four egg yolks and a pint of milk, sweeten to taste and flavor with
vanilla. Serve the meringue very cold in the dish in which it is baked,
with the custard as a sauce in a sauceboat or glass pitcher.
APPLE PUDDING.--No. 1.
Take some tart cooking apples, pare, core and slice them and lay in cold
water for a few minutes to prevent them from turning dark. Put the
apples in a porcelain lined or granite saucepan and add water as deep as
the apples, but not to cover them. Cover the saucepan tightly and let
the apples cook until tender, then mash well, add sugar, grated lemon
peel and cinnamon to taste. Put it back on the stove, and when it comes
to a boil add a tablespoonful of potato flour mixed with a little cold
water, stir well and let it cook for a few minutes. Turn it into a mould
and serve the next day with cream.
APPLE PUDDING.--No. 2.
Prepare the apples as for Apple Pudding, No. 1. When tender mash through
a colander, and put the puree back on the stove. When it boils stir in a
very heaping tablespoonful of potato flour mixed with a little cold
water, and let it cook for a few minutes. Remove from the fire, stir in
a wine glass of sherry. Turn into a mould, set it on the ice until the
next day and serve with cream.
APPLES STEWED IN BUTTER.
Take half a dozen good, tart cooking apples--greenings or Newtown
pippins; peel, cut in slices about a quarter of an inch thick and core
them. Melt an ounce of butter in a spider, and lay in the slices of
apples with a quarter of a pound of granulated sugar and the juice of a
lemon, stew gently over a moderate fire. When done arrange them nicely
on a dish, melt a generous tablespoonful of currant jelly in the spider,
and when ready to serve mix with it half a glass of Madeira or sherry;
pour over the apples and serve.
TO STEAM APPLES.
Pare and core some good cooking apples, place them in an earthen or
granite ware dish that fits in a steamer. Have water boiling in the
steamer, set the dish over it, stretch a towel over the top, put on the
cover and fold the ends of the towel over it. Steam the apples until
tender--about twenty minutes. Take the apples out, measure the juice in
the pan and add to it an equal quantity of sugar, flavor with a little
lemon juice, cook until thick, put the apples in a glass dish and pour
the syrup over them. It will be a jelly when cold. Serve with cream.
