Stewed Apples.

In cooking apples it may not be
known generally that the more quickly
they are cooked after pairing the richer
and better they are. An apple begins
to be discolored as soon as the skin
is removed, ard this discoloration con-
tinues in the cooking. AS quickly
after pairing as possible, put half a
dozen apples, sliced, into a pan with
two-thirds as much water as the bulk
of the apples. Cover them and let
them cook as rapidly as possible.
Watch them closely to prevent burn
ing, and just as they are falling to
pieces put into them two-thirds OF q
cup of sugar. stirring 1t quickly. They
are delicious also served cold.
