Gateau De Pommes

Take half a pound of loaf sugar, put it into a saucepan with half a pint of water, and let it boil to a thick syrup. Put with it one pound of nicely-flavoured apples, weighed after they are pared and cored, and the thinly-sliced rind and juice of a small lemon. Stir the contents of the saucepan constantly, and boil until they are stiff. A tea-spoonful of isinglass may be added, if liked. Press the gateau into a damp mould, and when it is firm, turn it out, and serve with custard round it. Time, about three-quarters of an hour. Sufficient for a small mould. Probable cost, 9d., exclusive of the custard.
