FINE APPLE PUDDING
DESSERT ALWAYS A FAVORiTE
IN ENGLISH HOUSEHOLDS.
Good Alike for the Children and Their
eiders--Moek Apple oumpllnes
an Easily Prepared DeIicaey-
Custard Of Apple Snow.

Boiled apple pudding as the English
people make 1t is both nourishing and
inexpensive, when apples are at all
plentiful. In fact. It is claimed the
pudding furnishes q perfect midday
meal for children not yet old enough
to be given meat, while 1t Is certainly
a substantial dessert for everybody.
You chop four ounces Of good beef
suet very fine and rub it into one
pound OF -four. with q teaspoonful OF
baking powder and one-quarter tea.
spoonful OF salt Then you wet 1t up
with cold water into a dough. rolling
out on q well-houred board.
With this you line a buttered pud.
ding basin. reserving enough to cover
the top. and proceed to fill with ap.
pies. peeled. cored and cut into small
pieces. adding sugar to sweeten. also
a few cloves or a dust Of cinnamon
as liked. When the bowl Is quite full
cover with warm water and cover sc.
curely with the paste. Dip cloth
into boiling water, sprinkle with -four.
and tie over the pudding Take the
cord well down the bowl, bring the
four corners Of the cloth together at
the top, tie firmly and plunge into
plenty Of boiling water and cook for
from two to two and one-half hours,
according to the apples used. Some
take longer to cook than others Juicy
apples cook quickly. Hard, dry ap.
simple sauce, or. when serving for
children, pour over little milk.
Mock Apple Dumplings. is a
nice dessert and one easily prepared.
You fill deep buttered dish with
tart, juicy apples. peeled and cored.
filling the space with brown sugar.
Then you pour over a cupful of hot
water, sweetened, and sprinkling Of
cinnamon or any preferred spices.
The dish Is put into a slow oven or at
the back OF the stove, where the ap-
pies will soften. Make biscuit crust,
using cup of -four. one teaspoonful
of baking powder. tablespoonful Of
shortening. little salt and a tea
spoonful of sugar Mix with milk to
a very soft dough.
Pour over the softened apples and
bake until a light brown. Another
way is to prepare the apples as d.
rected. cover them and bake in the
over until cooked through, then to
pour over them a custard made from
one cupful Of milk, two tablespoonfuls
OF sugar and the yolk Of an egg. This
is baked for a few minutes and Is
then finished of with a meringue
made from the white Of the egg and
powdered sugar.
This Is more delicate than tho
dumplings. of course, and another
dainty dish made from apples is:
Apple Snow.-You make a simple
custard as before directed and pour it
Into shallow glass dish. Then you
crate sour apples. say a cupful, and
beat into 1t the white of an egg and
powdered sugar to sweeten. This
mixture is laid in spoonfuls upon the
custard and dotted with whipped
cream busted with nutmeg.
