Apple Tart or Cake

Line a shallow pie-dish with good puff paste. Make a mixture consisting of two pounds of apples pared, cored, and chopped, the peel of two lemons grated, a piece of butter the size of a large egg, four eggs well beaten, and a cupful of cream or new milk, and sugar according to taste. Mix these ingredients thoroughly. Put them on the paste, leaving a narrow rim all round. Blanch a few almonds, cut them into long strips, place them over the top of the apples, and bake in a quick oven. Care should be taken that the almonds are not too much baked. Time, three-quarters of an hour. Sufficient for three medium-sized dishes. Probable cost, 2s. 6d
