APPLES. 31 



Apples Frosted.— Peel, core and steam till tender, a 

 plate of apples with sugar. Beat the white of an egg to a 

 froth, adding two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and when stiff 

 like icing, frost the apples and brown slightly in the oven. 



Apple G-reen-Caps.— (The Cook's Guide). Take sound 

 apples, core without breaking and rub with cloth. Line a 

 preserving pan with grape-vine leaves, place in the apples, 

 cover with more leaves and cold water. Shut the lid, place 

 an iron weight on it and simmer till the apples are cooked 

 but whole. Remove and drain, smear each with the beat- 

 en white of an egg and dredge thickly with powdered su- 

 gar. Place them on a plate in the oven till frosted and 

 sparkUng. Arrange on a flat dish and place around them 

 any pretty bright leaves. 



Apples Baked, !No. 1 — Peel and core large sour apples 

 and sUce them into a granite or crockery dish, spriniiling 

 each layer with sufficient sugar to sweeten, with a dust of 

 cinnamon or nutmeg. Add half a teacup of water to every 

 quart of fruit, cover the dish with a plate, and bake slowly 

 three hours. Let the apples cool in the same dish, and 

 turnit oat soUd, Uke jelly, upon the plate in vhioh it is to be 

 served. 



Apples Baked, No. 3.— "Wash either sweet or sonr ap- 

 ples, selecting those of the same size and variety, and bake 

 in amoderate oven till they are entirely soft, turning the dish 

 from time to time, so that they will cook evenly. If they 

 are soft, pour about them a little hot water when they are 

 set in the oven. If sour, use more water and either sprinkle 

 sugar into it or dig out the core and fill the aperture with 

 sugar. They should not be baked in tin. The j nice makes 

 a rich syrup which should be poured over the fruit after 

 it is lifted into the dish in which it is served. 



Baked Apples, No. 3.— Take large tart apples of a uni- 

 form size, wash, core and place side by side in a baking- 

 dish. Fill each cavity with the best brown sugar, pour a 

 cupful of hot water in the pan and bake in a warm oven.
