wash well and boil in water until dry
and tender Add little salt. Pare
and core six tart apples, press rice
firmly around apples. roll in sugar
and cinnamon, place in baking dish,
add the remaining sugar and small
piece of butter to each apple, bake I'M
til tender Serve with whipped cream.
Apple Fritters-This is another ap-
pie dish when made by the German
method tastes quite different from the
usual article. The batter may be eth
er plain or sweetened. Most persons
like the plain which is made by sift-
ing together one cupful of flour, one
half teaspoonful baking powder and
one-quarter teaspoonful of salt. When
ready to use beat in one cupful sweet
milk and two eggs we'll beaten. The
batter should be just thick enough to
stick to the sliced apples. Unless
you know well the -four you are using
it may require little testing to get
the batter just right. The apples
should be pared, cored, cut into quar-
teT-luCu TUuluS dlu llllhioiS ou a.
least one hour in a syrup made OF two
heaping tablespoons of sugar, one cup
full of water and your favorite spice
used sparingly.
The fritters should be cooked In
deep kettle of hot fat-smoking hot,
but not scorching. Dip a slice of ap-
pie in batter, hold moment to drain,
then drop into smoking fat. The
fritter will sink to bottom Of kettle,
but as soon as the baking powder heats
it will rise and should then be turned
carefully with fork until it is gold
en- brown on both sides. When taken
from fat they should be busted with
sugar.
