Dried Apple Cake

Mrs. Brodie.

Soak three cupsful of dried apples over night in warm water; chop slightly, then let them simmer for one hour and a-half in two cups of syrup or molasses; add two eggs, one cup of sugar, one cup of sweet milk, half cup of butter, one teaspoonful of soda, flour enough to make a stiff batter; bake in a quick oven.
