Apple Custard

Mrs. F. B. Orr.

Pare, core, and quarter one dozen tart apples, strew into it the grated rind of one lemon; stew until tender in very little water; then mash smooth with back of a spoon. To one and a-half pints of strained apple, add one and a-quarter pounds sugar; leave it until cold; beat six eggs light and stir alternately into one quart of milk with the apples; put into cups or deep dish, and bake twenty minutes; to be eaten cold.
