of utilizing this kitchen standby are

apple:
Fresh apples may be stuffed with
sausage and then baked; sliced and
fried in fat to serve with meats. or
| served raw In salads.
Canned, dried or stewed apples may
be varied greatly by changing the
flayora used.
Canned apples make a delicious ad-

a piduant flavor.
Canned, dried or fresh, they form ar
acceptable basis for Brown Betty made

just a little of obtaining everything

complete protein, and they are
sometimes called meat substitutes.
