Fruit Flip Flaps

Mix together I pint of flour, I teaspoonful of sugar, ½ teaspoonful of salt and 2 scant teaspoonfuls of baking-powder and rub in 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of butter. Mix to a soft dough which can just be cut with a spoon. Butter deep muffin pans and half fill them with the dough.

Pare, core and cut fine a number of tart apples.

Put an inch layer of them in each pan, sprinkle thickly with grated maple sugar and drop in each 14 teaspoonful of butter. Bake in a quick oven and serve hot with cream.

Poor Man's Pie (Apple Dish) Pare 6 large greenings (apples); sprinkle generously with sugar and cinnamon. Take about I pint of buttermilk with large lumps of butter floating in it. Beat 2 eggs till light, add ½ cupful of sugar, 2 teaspoonfuls of soda, a pinch of salt and I pint of flour. Make a smooth batter, spread evenly over the prepared apples and place in the oven to bake. Serve with milk or cream sweetened with sugar. Cream which is thus treated goes much farther and is very delicious. Flavored with vanilla, it makes a pleasing change from plain cream.
