INGREDIENTS. — Twelve apples, two whites of eggs, castor sugar, jam or jellyApples, Baked. METHOD. — Pare and core the apples, keeping them whole; roll up an apple-paring tightly, and place it in the center of each apple. Brush over with whites of eggs, and put aside until it dries; then re-coat, sprinkle with castor sugar, put the apples into a pie-dish, cover with a greased paper and bake in a slow oven until tender. Be careful not to over-cook or they may break. When done, remove the apple-paring and fill the cavity with blackberry or black currant jelly, black- berry or raspberry jam, or whatever may be preferred; a small piece of butter and some brown sugar is liked by many. Apple Charlotte. INGREDIENTS. — Four pounds of good cooking apples, eight ounces of brown sugar, or to taste, two ounces of butter, the rind of two lemons. For lining the mold: thin slices of bread, oiled butterApple Charlotte.

Meanwhile take a plain souffle mold, and cover the bottom with a round of bread, previously cut in quarters and dipped into the melted butter. If a pretty dish is desired, the sides of the mold should be lined with rounds of bread, of three-quarters of an inch diameter, arranged over-lapping each other; but as three or four tiers may be required this method occupies considerable time. It may be more quickly lined with long narrow strips the size of Savoy biscuits, these may also overlap each other, or they may be laid flat against the tin. Each piece of bread must be dipped into the oiled butter be- fore being used. When the mold is ready put in the apple pulp, cover the top with a round of bread, and bake in a moderate over for about thirty minutes. Apple Charlotte. (Another Method.) INGREDIENTS. — Two pounds of apples, six ounces of finely- chopped suet, six ounces of white breadcrumbs, four ounces of brown sugar, one lemon (rind only), two tablespoonfuls of browned breadcrumbsApple Charlotte (Another Method). METHOD. — Peel, core and cut the apples into thick slices. Grease a pie-dish, and coat it thickly with browned bread- crumbs; mix together the suet and breadcrumbs, and grate the lemon rind. Fill the pie-dish with alternate layers of apple and mixed suet and crumbs, letting the bottom and top layers be rather thick ones of breadcrumbs; the lemon rind should be mixed with the sugar and sprinkled on each layer of apple. Cover with a double layer of greased paper, and bake in a moderate oven for about one and a quarter hours. When ready, loosen the edges with a knife, and invert on to a hot dish. Apple Cheesecakes.
