Fresh Apple Sauce This is one of the acceptable dishes for breakfast. Do not attempt to make a large quantity, for it is never better than when fresh. Wipe the apples and divide into quarters, or eighths if large, and in this way save yourself the trouble of not paring any but sound portions. Be careful to pick out every par- ticle of the hulls in the seed cavities. As you pare toss them into the kettle, which should be clean, white or porce- lain lined. A quart will make sufficient for six persons. Add water to just show among the pieces, cover with a granite cover that fits tightly to keep in the steam, and let them cook rapidly until soft. The time will depend upon the apple ; some varieties soften in ten minutes while others will take double that time. After once making it you can judge better than by following any arbitrary rule. Do not uncover them more than necessary. When they are all puffing above 170 SCHOOL KITCHEN TEXTBOOK the water and are soft when tried with a silver fork, add sugar to taste (half a cup is sufficient unless the apples are very tart) and remove at once, stirring as the sugar melts, and this will beat the apple to a smooth mass. If they are tough and knurly there will be hard places in the sauce, but a fair mellow apple will cook uniformly. If eaten hot for breakfast a little butter is an addition.
