3 pints pared and quartered apples.
1/2 pint flour.
1/2 cup sugar.
1 tbsp. butter.
1/4 of a grated nutmeg.
1/2 cup milk.
1/2 pint water.
1/4 tsp. salt.
2 (l.) tsps. baking powder.

Put the apples, water, sugar, and nutmeg into a porcelain or granite
saucepan and set on the fire. When the apples begin to boil, set back
where they will cook gently. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder
together. Rub the butter into this dry mixture, wet with the milk,
stir quickly into a soft dough. Press or roll the dough lightly into a
round piece about the size of the top of the saucepan. Lay this on the
apples; put on a close cover and continue cooking gently for 30
minutes. The crust may be lifted to a plate for a moment, the apples
turned into a pudding dish, then placing the crust over the top. To be
served with lemon or nutmeg sauce.

Wash the rice well. Put it on the fire in 1 pint of cold water and let
it cook for 10 minutes. Drain off the water, add the salt and milk;
then cook in the double boiler for 2 hours, add the raisins when about
half cooked. Do not stir the rice while it is cooking.

BROWN BETTY.

Pare, core and slice 6 or 7 tart apples. Put a layer of stale bread
crumbs in the bottom of the baking dish, then a layer of the apples,
another layer of bread crumbs and apples, and so on until all are

molasses, stir in 2 tbsps. of brown sugar; pour it over the crumbs and
bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour.

1 cup white sugar.
Whites of 6 eggs.

a sieve and put aside to cool; when cold add the sugar and lemon
juice. Beat the whites of the eggs to a very stiff froth, add the
apples to them by spoonfuls, beating all the while. Heap in a glass
dish and serve immediately. (This is a very delicate and wholesome
pudding for an invalid.)
