Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. a spoonful of sugar
  2. Water
  3. Mace
  4. Apples

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.

Method

  1. Pare tart, well-flavored apples, scoop out the cores without dividing the apple, put them in a deep dish with a small bit of mace, and a spoonful of sugar in the opening of each apple.
  2. Pour in water enough to cook them;
  3. when soft, pour over them an unbaked custard, so as just to cover them, and bake till the custard is done.
