Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. one cupful of sugar
  2. a cupful of water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Fill a three-quart earthen dish with pared and quartered apples.
  2. Sprinkle on these one cupful of sugar, a slight grating of nutmeg, one table-spoonful of butter, and half a cupful of water.
  3. Cover, and bake thirty minutes.
  4. Make half the rule for chopped paste.
  5. Roll a piece of the paste into a strip that will reach around the pudding dish.
  6. This strip should be about two inches deep.
  7. Roll the remainder of the paste to cover the dish.
  8. Take the pudding dish from the oven, slip the strip of paste between the apple and the dish, and put on the top crust.
  9. Return to the oven, and bake one hour longer.
  10. Serve with a cream sauce.
