THE ~APPETIzlNG APPLE.

So many palatahle dishes can be
made from apples that one need have
no monotony In the use OF this queen
of fruits.
When short of a variety In the vege-
table line, did you ever take a few
tart apples, two or three onions and
a slice of good salt pork, and make
an appetizing dish which, IL not very
dfgestible, ia most savory7 Put the
pork, diced. into a frying pan. and
whan a nice brown add the sliced
onions and apples, with a very little
water; cook until tender, add a dash
OF pepper, salt and a tablespoonful OF
sugar, If the apples are very tart.
Here is a fine filing for sandwiches
Or cakes, and the beauty Of 1t is that
It Is ready without any preparation.
For every pound OF the fruit, peeled
and sliced, take twice it's weight in
sugar, half a cup of water and the
grated rind of a lemon. Cook slowly
three hours, until thick. then add the
juice Of the lemon and cook fifteen
minutes longer, stirring continually to
avoid burning. Add chopped nut
meats and NO richer filing could be
desired.
Brown Betty Ia perhaps too well
known to repeat, yet 1t is a most
dainty dish. Put a layer of chopped
apples, brown sugar, cinnamon for
favorfng and a layer OF bread crumbs
in q buttered dish; repeat, adding the
crumbs. bnttered by melting a table
spoonful OF butter and stirring them In
II. Moisten with water, and bake.
One charm OF this pudding is that It
uses crumbs.
Another delicious cake filling is
made from a cupful of grated apple
and the whites of two eggs; flavor and
sweeten to taste. Whip until stiff and
smooth.
Apple dumping is never too old
fashioned to be rejoiced in. Wrap the
short biscuit dough around a cored
apple and bake. Serve with cream
and sugar. This may be steamed as
well.
A birds nest pudding is an easy des-
sert to prepare. 1t is simply sliced APP
