To make apple cakes

Take half a quartern of dough, roll it out thin: spread equally over it five ounces each of coffee and sugar, a little nutmeg or allspice, and two oz. of butter; then fold and roll it again two or three times, to mix well the ingredients. Afterwards roll it out thin, and spread over it four rather large apples, pared, cored, and chopped small; fold it up, and roll until mixed. Let it stand to rise after. Half a pound of butter may be added.
