Apple Tarts

Ingredients

• Five apples
• Three eggs
• One lemon (juice and rind)
• One-quarter cupful of butter
• Three-quarters cupful of sugar
• One-half cupful of water

Method

1. 1

   Peel and core the apples, which should be tart; and cook them in the water until soft; stewing them very slowly.

2. 2

   Beat the sauce very smooth, and when partly cooled, add the beaten yolks of the eggs, the lemon-juice and grated rind and the sugar, increasing the amount of sugar if desired very sweet.

3. 3

   Line the patty-pans with paste, fill them with the mixture, and bake five minutes in a very hot oven.

4. 4

   Beat the whites of the eggs stiff, add to them two table-spoonfuls of sugar, spread the egg on top of the tarts, return the latter to the oven, and brown delicately.
