Apple Gateau

Boil one pound of loaf sugar in half a pint of water till it makes a rich syrup. Peel, core, and slice very thinly two pounds of Nonpareil, or any other nicely-flavoured apples which will pulp easily. Boil in the syrup with the rind and juice of a lemon until stiff. Pour the mixture into a mould, and the following day turn it out and serve with custard. Time, about two hours. Probable cost, 10d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
