Apples Cooked in Butter: Pare and
core six tart apples of equal size, and
arrange them in baking dish that is
large enough to receive all the apples
upon its fiat surface. Place a teaspoon
full of sugar in the hollow of each APP
pie. and also a small quantity of any
preferred spice if the apples are not
finely favored. After they have be-
gun to bake, haste them with a scanty
half-cupful of water in which a level
tablespoonful of butter has been melted;
and repeat the basting twice. The last
basting will use up the buttered water,
and the apples should be done shortly
afterward. This preparation has a
very dainty flavor, and it will present
an attractive appearance if the fruit is
not broken. 1t is usually served hot
for breakfast or for winter supper.
Sugar may be busted over the apples
when taken from the oven; or if they
are to be eaten cold, it may be added
just before sending to the table.-De-
lineatOr.
