This recipe was extracted from Cookery for every household (1914) by Florence B. Jack, page 742. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Apples Prepare the apples as in last recipe, placing them in a deep dish, and steam them over a saucepan of hot water until tender, but not broken. This is a very simple way of cooking apples, and if served with cream or custard they are excellent. They may be served either hot or cold. If cold, they may be decorated with a little whipped cream, or red-currant or gooseberry jelly. Put the sugar, water, and lemon juice into a clean fined saucepan, and let them boil quickly for 10 minutes. Meanwhile peel the apples, cut them in quarters, and remove the cores. Throw the pieces into the boiling syrup, and let them cook slowly until clear and tender, but not broken. Then remove the quarters of apple carefully, reduce the syrup a little, and colour it pink with a few drops of carmine or cochineal. Arrange the apples on a glass dish and pour the syrup over. A few chopped pistachio nuts may be sprinkled over. Notes. — If the apples are small, they may be cored and cooked whole. The centres may then be filled with a little whipped and sweetened cream. A little wine may, if liked, be added to the syrup, and orange juice may be used instead of lemon. A little cream or custard served with the compote is a great improvement. Another Way, 2 Apples.
