Good Ways to Cook Apples

The apple constitutes the winter
fruit par excellence. because OF its
unsurpassed keeping qualities. II
Is, indeed. the fruit OF the entire
year, eudaled by none other in point
OF usefulness. AZ least 70 the inhab-
itants CT the north temperate zone.
II has been we'll said that the apple
holds tie same relation 20 other
fruits hat wheat holds in the family
OF cereals; It's area Of production
being The widest. its nourishing
quality the highest. and its adapta-
biiity IN preparation the most In
elusive and the most satisfying 10
various tastes. The apple IL made
up 81 about 80 parts OF water. from
one TO two parts sugar. and the re-
mainder pure starch. with an innn
/ itesimal fraction OF volatile oil
which gives the fruit It's flavor. The
fact that the solid part OF the apple
Iis starch indicates why many per
sons hnd the uncooked fruit dificul
20 digest. but even confirmed dys
pep'ics are seldom troubled In tn,

apples.
