Baked Bananas

The banana may be baked whole, one side of the skin being stripped back in this case, or it may be peeled and cut in halves or quarters. The fruit should be placed in a baking-pan sprinkled with cinnamon, a half-cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, and tiny bits of butter. Pour into the pan a half-cup of water and baste frequently while baking in a quick oven. Lemon juice may be substituted for cinnamon, making it into a syrup before baking, then pouring over the fruit when placed in oven. Apples may be baked with the peeled bananas, with delicious results, adding a dash of lemon juice.
