pun. Serve very cold.
Baked Apples With Nuts.
Butternuts. hickory or black walnuts are
best for this. For a dozen large apples. a
cup and a half OF nut meats will be re-
quired with a tablespoonful OF sugar for
each apple. Chop the meats fine and add
the sugar. Core the apples and fill the
cavity with the nuts. Place in a dripping
pan, not too close pour in cup OF boiling
water and bake in a quick oven until the
apples are tender. Take up carefully, pour
the juice in the pan over them. II de-
sired, crown with a mertngue made from
the whites Of two eggs beaten stiff with
two tablespoonfuls powdered sugar. then
set In a cool oven until golden brown.
Crown each apple with a Maraschino
cherry candied cranberry, If you wish a
pretty color effect.
Other Filings for Baked Apples.
Other good filings for baked apples are
raisns that have been seeded and pumped
in hot water. figs or dates steamed until
plump and tender. then chopped into dice
and rolled In sugar, to which has been
added pinch of cinnamon, a section OF
banana sprinkled with sugar and lemon
juice, or preserved ginger chopped fine
with some of the syrup to moisten.
Apple Compete.
Cook together until sirupy one cup sugar,
one-half cup water, two inches stick CHINA
mon and the thin yellow rind OF half
lemon. Then add one-half dozen sour ap-
pies, peeled and cored, and cover with the
strip to harden their outer surface. Cover
closely and simmer until tender. Serve on
rounds Of toast with plain whipped cream.
Apple Dumplings With Potato Crust.
A favorite southern dessert is made OF
apple dumplings in potato crust. To make
them, boil a dozen potatoes and mash very
smooth and light. Mix with them while
hot one quart Of flour; no water; beat well
and then roll out; peel and core tart apples.
and into each cavity left by the core put
cinnamon or grated lemon orange peel,
with half teaspoonful sugar. Roll the
paste thin, cut in squares, wrap each apple
In a cover Of crust, then tie in a cloth and
boil.
Another Way.
These are made with a good short pie
crust. Pare the apples whole. then core,
filling each cavity with sugar, butter and
little cinnamon or Glove for seasoning; cut
some rounds OF paste rather larger than
the apples and cover them, leaving no OPEN
ings; bake in a dripping pan for about an
hour in quick oven. Before they are
quite done draw the pan to the edge of the
oven, brush over the top of each dumping
with water and dust lightly with sugar to
give them glaze. Sometimes for change
the dumplings are baked in a deep baking
dish nearly full Of a rich sauce made OF
water, sugar, plenty Of butter and CHINA
mon to season. The dumplings should be
well covered with this sirup and some Of
the same should be poured over them be-
fore serving.
Picked Apples.
Take one and half pounds sugar and
half a cup vinegar and boil with table,
spoonful whole cloves and two pieces stick
cinnamon. When the sugar IL dissolved
and strip cooked five minutes drop in large
fine apples peeled, cored and quartered,
and cook few at time until transparent.
Skim out, cook strip longer and pour over
them. Substitute for picked pears.
