APPLE FRITTERS

VEGETARIAN APPLE COOKERY-APPLE FRITTERS.
3 good juicy cooking apples, 3 eggs, 6 oz. of Allinson fine wheat meal, ½ pint of milk, and sugar to taste. Pare and core the apples, and cut them into rounds ¼ inch thick; make a batter with the milk, meal, and the eggs well beaten, adding sugar to taste. Have a frying-pan ready on the fire with boiling oil, veggie-butter, or butter, dip the apple slices into the batter and fry the fritters until golden brown; drain them on blotting paper, and keep them hot in the oven until all are done.

APPLE PUDDING

VEGETARIAN APPLE COOKERY-APPLE PUDDING.
1-1/2 lbs. of apples, 1 teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, sugar to taste, ½ lb. of Allinson fine wheat meal, and 2-1/2 oz. of butter or veggie-butter. Pare, core, and cut up the apples; make a paste of the meal, butter and a little cold water; roll the paste out, line a pudding basin with the greater part of it, put in the apples, and sprinkle over them the cinnamon and 4 oz. of sugar—a little more should the apples be very sour; cover the apples with the rest of the paste, and press the edges together round the sides; tie a cloth over the basin and boil the pudding for 2-1/2 to 3 hours in a saucepan with boiling water.

APPLE SAUCE

VEGETARIAN APPLE COOKERY-APPLE SAUCE.
1 lb. of good cooking apples, sugar to taste. Pare, core, and cut the apples in pieces, cook them in a few spoonfuls of water to prevent them burning; when quite soft rub the apple through a sieve, and sweeten the sauce to taste. Rubbing the sauce through a sieve ensures the sauce being free from pieces should the apple not pulp evenly.

APPLE TART (OPEN)

VEGETARIAN APPLE COOKERY-APPLE TART (OPEN).
2 lbs. of apples, 1 cupful of currants and sultanas, 2 oz. of chopped almonds, sugar to taste, 1 teaspoonful of ground cinnamon or the rind of ½ lemon (which latter should be removed after cooking with the apples), 12 oz. or Allinson fine wheat meal, and 4-1/2 oz. of butter. Pare, core, and cut up the apples; stew them in very little water, only just enough to keep from burning; when nearly done add the currants, sultanas, almonds, cinnamon, and sugar; let all simmer together until the apples have become a pulp; let the fruit cool; make a paste of the meal, butter, and a little water; roll it out and line a round, flat dish with it, and brush the paste over with white of eggs; turn the apple mixture on the paste; cut the rest of the paste into strips 3/8 of an inch wide, and lay them over the apples in diamond shape, each 1 inch from the other, so as to make a kind of trellis arrangement of the pastry. If enough paste is left, lay a thin strip right round the dish to finish off the edge, mark it nicely with a fork or spoon, and bake the tart for ¾ hour. Serve with white sauce or custard.
