Apple Pudding, Baked

IN- GREDIENTS for a large pudding.-3 lbs. of apples, 6 oz. of moist sugar, 3 oz. of butter, APPLE PUDDING. 3 eggs, 1 pint of bread-crumbs, a few cloves.

AVERAGE COST, 1s. 6d.

Pare, core, and cut the apples as for sauce, and boil them until reduced to a pulp with the cloves, which should then be taken out; then add the butter, melted, and the eggs, which should be well whisked. Beat up the pudding for 2 or 3 minutes; butter a pie-dish; put in a layer of bread-crumbs, then the apple, and then another layer of bread-crumbs; flake over these a few tiny pieces of butter, and bake for about 1/2 hour. A very good economical pudding may be made merely with apples, boiled and sweetened, with the addition of a few strips of lemon-peel. A layer of bread-crumbs should be placed above and below the apples, and the pudding baked for 1/2 hour.

TIME. About hour.

SEASONABLE from August to March.
