Apple Snow with Sponge Cake

Put four or five slices of sponge-cake into a glass dish, and pour over them first two table-spoonfuls of sherry and then a cupful of cream. Place in a saucepan five or six finely-flavoured apples peeled and cored, with a little water, sugar, grated lemon-rind, and lemon-juice. Reduce them to a pulp, press the pulp through a sieve, and beat it with the whites of six eggs until it is white and frothy. Heap it over the cakes as high as possible, and serve immediately. Time to beat, about an hour. Probable cost, 2s. 6d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
