Apples, Compote of, Baked

Pare a dozen golden pippins, or any other finely-flavoured apples, and core them without breaking them. Place them in a deep dish with a cupful of water, a pound of sugar, and a few drops of the essence of vanilla or lemon. Cover the dish, and place it in a moderate oven until the apples are cooked through. Take them out, place them in a glass dish, and serve with custard or cream. Time to bake, three-quarters of an hour. Probable cost, 1s. Sufficient for six persons.
